Doesn't tend to work well in practice.

You're right. but The Dictatorship of the Fascist union of eastern Europe Is fascist. We also have plenty of communists which are actually socialists. The next thing we expect is for us to tear apart.

So... just pull yourself back together again...

... Or is that one of those things humans can't do?

No. We are a democracy. We are rejects.

I vote against being a democracy. Which is to say I'll consume any collectivists who come near me.

Democracy is actually bad, because you can't keep someone in office but if you elect a person you doesn't believe in democracy, then they will probably switch the type of government

That isn't what is wrong with democracy. It being able to allow changes to other types of government IN THEORY is a benefit.
What is wrong with democracy is that it is just a popularity contest. The folks who end up in power of a democratic government are those who are best at manipulating people into believing them... which is not the same as being best at governing a population.
That and the fact that the average person doesn't have a clue about good population-management either... and forming an aggregate of the opinions of millions of clueless plebs isn't an effective way to decide who or what should be in charge.

Dictators are a bit of a crap-shoot. A single, empowered person in charge might be a greedy, power-mad despot... but they could just as easily be a benevolent and dedicated leader... and there are few ways to account for that in advance.

Honestly I'd say what humanity needs most is to be governed by a supercomputer explicitly programmed to be the very best at governing... and with enough RAM to be able to treat millions of persons as individuals the way mere people themselves lack the processing capacity to do.
