Democracy or Communism?

I would vote for what I have dubbed a "virtual democracy" which is now actualy possible due to the new technology and the internet. In said virtual democracy, I would open up a forum for people to debate {much like we have here} and where elector efficials, would be able to post polls registration would require a valid social security number, and proof of age via a birth certificate. The possitives to this are that everyone who had an internet connection could vote for themselfs, and making voting a much lazier thing to do, so I suspect more people would do it.

There is however one major downside to this, if the system was ever hacked or the admin {president\state governor would be the admins} where to get in and change the vote numbers the result COULD be catastrophic. But given the risks I would heavily support a virtual democracy.

No. There're others great downsides. Like for example, how would you do to agree with the great majority in a period of superavit to decrease employement, to keep inflation on the place, when they say not. The great majority will not understand, and this is pretty simple. The only way will be instruct everybody on political affairs and do some oficials referendums periodicaly on important themes. But no one can asure you that they'll understand it, or that they'll be disposed to do so. Altough i agree with the term "virtual democracy".

A ghost government that has less rules, but more eficient police would be good.

You'll have to rephrase the question for me to better understand, I can't sort out the arguements that you have stated. Though it sounds interesting, I'm not sure I understood that.
