If only someone noticed before we started this country that democracy was a mistake.

Like, maybe we should only have property owners allowed to vote. And even then, ensure that we had a political elite class that had an equal say in how the government was run. But most importantly, have a dictator to bring order to chaos when the people or the elite got out of hand.

If only someone could've seen this two or three hundred years ago...

Republican models of government are actually quite a good idea, given that there is not universal suffrage. Take Rome for instance, only patricians and those who served in the legions could vote, the common plebian did not have franchise. Likewise upon the founding of the United States only land owners could vote. Once the political franchise started to be expanded (both in Rome and the USA) you start to see the gradual destruction of both nations.

Roman elections were a lot more complicated than that, but you are right: ultimately only the nobility had any say in how things were actually done. However, they had a stopgap that said that if the nobility can't come to a consensus the plebians would get a say, and since no nobility would ever let that happen, they got their stuff together quick.

The plebians did have a congress of sort, what I think the Founding Fathers wanted the House of Representatives to be. That body had almost no power and could only whine and complain when things got bad.

The English figured out you bring the peasant leaders in and have them figure out how to tax themselves. It makes things a lot less messy. Things got out of hand, though, when the peasants (really, the new middle class) decided that kings aren't allowed to do certain things rather than levy taxes like they were told.

A perfect country would be run by generally authentic Germans. They make the best decisions and are naturally against greed and corruption.

Jews would buy up the land and control the vote. Jews fuck up any system of government. Without them though white counties wouldn't need many rules.

Control who is allowed to own land. It's pretty simple.

Yes, a Volkstaat model with some type of minister to set things straight if the voters become retarded would be ideal.

Anyway, I need views on my artwork!
