Strong Leaders Like Putin May Be Effective When Government and Economic Reform is Requisite

The United States today has trouble reforming government. Instead of reform it keeps the same bureaucrats in office and adds new government agencies. Government grows rather than reforms. That is a problem of a vast left-wing bureaucratic government in quasi-democracy.

The creeping expansion of large national democracy along the inertial flow of ad hoc unionism is like the expansion of space-time in the Universe. New bureaucratic elements requiring increased payments grow from out of nowhere moving the galaxies apart.

The new Russia formed from the carcass of the late vast left-wing bureaucratic Soviet Union. In the chaos of its fall vultures picked over the carcass looking for profit taking and territory. Boris Yeltsin appointed the young Vladimir Putin before he died to Shepard the new Russia in its time of wholesale reform.

A strongman somewhat short of being a dictator can accomplish in reform with extraordinary power what cannot be accomplished through democracy. The inability of new ideas for reform to be implemented is a traditional weakness for a democratic society. Ossified economic structures are fought over and get extra investments but If F.D.R. had not inherited a chaotic time during the depression followed by the Second World war it is unlikely that he could have reformed the U.S> Government so far as he did. The genius of Barrack Obama in corrupting the nation by forcing Obamacare upon it was the ability to create a new government agency by appealing to the corporate establishment as well as vast left-wing collusionists for increasing government globally and synergistically giving birth to a monstrosity.

The Veterans administration is notoriously deficient at providing adequate service to veterans. It could have been united with the national constellation of poor people's clinics and expanded to provide direct medical service for Americans that couldn't afford medical service otherwise as a non-profit. A much needed back national disaster emergency medical system able to treat 20 million casualties should that ever be necessary also would have been created as an ancillary benefit of increasing the competence and scale of the V.A. hospital system.

The attacks on President Trump follow the left and corporatist media desire to resist government reformers even potentially, and to have a corrupt business as usual. The prospects for ecological economic reform or for the reform of capitalism to make it more egalitarian and to assure that all Americans have adequate working capital is plainly impossible. President Putin though was able to direct Russia through its chaotic rebuilding period and still troll the U.S. left and media over elections meddling through advertising and cell phone hacks. 

It would be wrong to have a semi-dictator in normal times, and never in the United States, yet from looking at the success of Russia, it does obviously have its advantages in times when emergency reform is required for survival.
