Somaliland is not a perfect place - I don't think anyone thinks that - but I've been impressed by how committed everyone I speak to is to having strong civil institutions and a democratic government. If those can be put in place, there's no limit to how far Somaliland can go!

5:43 I'm interested to hear your reasoning here. My understanding (admittedly just what my high school teachers said) has always been that the United States of America were conspicuously and intentionally modeled after the Roman Republic. The Roman Republic seems to have been a true republic by just about any reasonable metric. While the Republic was a total sham toward the end, it didn't start that way, and even improved steadily with more rights being granted to the poor over time before eventually declining again in what we call the Late Republican era. That said, as I wrote this I can't help but remember Women's Suffrage which I don't think existed in the Roman Republic and only forget about because of how uninterested most Roman Historians were in it so they don't talk about it. EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION: I loved this video in every way. I only ask this question specifically because I want to hear more. I'm not intending it as an argumentative point, so apologies if my wording came off that way.

@FredoRockwell

Жыл бұрын

So glad you liked the video. Since Rome created the Republic I guess it was arguably first. The Roman Republic wasn't really a democratic republic as we tend to think of today though. There wasn't a king, but it was more rule by powerful families than a democracy. Ancient Athens it's arguably a better example of democracy, although it too was far from perfect. I guess when I wrote that line I was referring to modern times (as in 1600 onwards). I should have considered my wording more carefully!!

The UCID party from Somaliland may be my favorite political party in the world, not because it is the most similar to the policies I support, but because they apparently got influenced by the Finnish Social Democratic Party. They took the position that good ideas know no borders and that they can take many ideas from a party from a completely different country and apply it somewhere else in the world. That is objectively a good thing as they don't try to lie to people that ideas from other countries are bad or contra to the values of Somaliland.
