  1. kickflipking06 Bernie Sanders if he had Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping’s methods of getting things done. It’s actually really interesting. I personally think Long’s policies were great and incredibly forward thinking. They attempted to tackle things that are still huge issues in the US today. The methods, on the other hand, not so great. I don’t know. I think democracy is incredibly important, and needs to be upheld at all costs. However as Simon pointed out in another video in authoritarian countries like China they can afford to have long-game plans and goals decades in the future. Terms and need for re-election can hamstring governments because they always have to be thinking about the next election, and far reaching plans that won’t be completed for ages (and may be scrapped if the government changes: see Australia’s NBN rollout) don’t get as much voter attention as short term goals etc. It’s a difficult issue. No idea how it could be solved.

  2. I think I get it now. Simon creates a channel for each of his personalities. This is how they talk to each other.

  3. Sounds more like the road to heaven is paved by autocracy.

  4. Wow. Had never heard of this guy, but his social policies sound great. It’s a shame his methods of getting things done were terrible.
