But is a one party state equivalent to driving at full speed? Single-party states can get pretty cozy for the leaders. When the ruling party has no serious competitors it may get complacent, utilizing "the machine" (whether its electoral [in the case of democracy] or violent [in the case of dictatorship]) to keep it in power and keep alternative voices from gaining any traction in government. Of course, this coziness eventually leads to decay and downfall, but it can take a while to happen.Originally Posted by RandBlade
Just disputing your analogy . As well as the question from the test... Nessus is dead on in that there are a huge number of assumptions underlying most of these questions.
