    These kinds of reforms would be so much easier to implement under a monarchy or some kind of dictatorial state.

      I hope this is sarcastic. Because yes, one-party/dictator states CAN implement changes incredibly fast. It’s why China is able to get so much infrastructure and nuclear/renewable energy installed so fast… it’s just, yknow, the rest of the problems are uhhhhhhhhhhhh

          Unfortunately there is a statisticslly significant population of people on Lemmy who would say a statement like that unironically, so everyone’s kind of on edge for such trolls…

      Trivially easy in fact, until they became impossible to implement when the dictator didn’t step down.
