What are your thoughts on the Polish-Lithuania commonwealth?

IMO the biggest flaw of PLC was that the king was elective, yet still served for life. That idea makes little sense when you think about it. If they elect a bad king, they are effectively stuck with him for however many years and can do nothing to remove him short of a civil war. But the king has no real reason to be a good king. He can't be certain that his descendants will inherit the throne (in fact, nobles will do everything in their power to PREVENT that from happening too many times in a row), so he has no reason to care what becomes of the state he's ruling. The best thing he can do, from his perspective, is to try to use PLC's resources to gain or expand his hereditary lands. The nobles will resist him when he tries that, of course. But that begets another problem. Because this behavior was so common, the nobles developed a sort of a knee jerk reaction about the king trying to raise money from them, opposing him even when he happened to have a very good reasons (when PLC was about to be invaded or already being invaded, for example). And IMO: this is what eventually doomed PLC. No one wanted to pay taxes to maintain a strong standing army.Solution: make the king only rule for 4 years, let's say. After that he is forced to abdicate and another election takes place. This would make ruling PLC very unattractive to foreign monarchs, but that's a good thing. They have no reason to care anyway. All or most of rulers would be Polish nobles themselves. This would also enable a Roman-like dictatorial system where it's possible for the king to receive additional rights from the Sejm when it's necessary (probably during a war) to quickly take legislative action without their approval. The term limit would make it so he couldn't keep those rights indefinitely and create an absolute monarchy. But if someone tried and succeeded anyway, then that's not necessarily a bad thing for the state either.
>>16533890Would you have term limits
is it true it was basically elites larping as sarmatian while serfs were...idk farming mud?
Obligatory.
>>16533965Reminder that Poland started WW2 by ethnically cleansing Germans within its borders. Saw that cuck Styxhexenhammer try to say Hitler would've been good if he hadn't invaded Poland or whatever yesterday
>>16533983>Reminder that Poland started WW2 by ethnically cleansing Germans within its borders.Name at least one German who was murdered by Polish state before 1st September of 1939.PS: (you) can'tYou are probably talking about Ashke(nazi) Jews who spoke German but they weren't ethnically German. Some of them were oppressed by Poland, but not massacred.
>>16533783It's neat that it's one of the only European countries to successfully take Moscow.
>>16534124Cope. The Polish were ethnically cleansing Germans in east Prussia & Danzig, the reports of dead & wounded refugees were in the low 100s of thousands & the minimum estimates still place it in the 10s of thousands. Edward Rydz-Smigley & Churchill's group "The Focus" provoked the war.
>>16534124"Poland wants war with Germany and Germany will not be able to avoid it even if she wants to."(Polish Marshal Rydz-Smigly as reported in the Daily Mail, August 6th, 1939)
>>16533783A rare instance of based cringe.
>>16533783Too weak, their retarded system that made expansion impossible (roudy Poles and Lithuanians didnt want to give any new nobles a say in their system so fucked with the king hard during war). Imagine instead of just placing a Russian claimant on their throne, that instead the Poles conquered it straight out? A blessed timeline where eastern barbarism is kept in its natural subserviant state
>>16534147>Cope.

Edward Rydz-Smigley & Churchill's group "The Focus" provoked the war.That's ridiculous. East Prussia was part of Germany and Danzig was ruled by NSDAP. Did Poles make Germans to kill themselves or what? LmaoOf course, you can't name atleast 1 poor German who had been cleansed and tortured with masturbation machines by ebil Poles.>>16534151>Poland wants war with Germany and Germany will not be able to avoid it even if she wants to.source: your assAug 6th 1939 was a Sunday and there was no edition of the Daily Mail on a Sunday.The reference is a fake and you are a lying stormfaggot.
>>16534147My grandmother's family are literally from Danzig's suburbs and not once in her memoirs were hundreds of murders mentioned.Harassment by the police yes (Polish police raided their house often), but no actual killings.
>>16533783It would have been based if it spanned Baltic to Black seas. Proof that Poles are the only true Aryans in Europe because of how it represented a traditional Aryan caste system with Polish Brahmin, Lithuanian Kshatriya, and Rusyn Shudra.

>>16533783Proof that Jeffersonianism doesn't work, made evident before Jeffersons time, thus making him even more of a retard for believing that "central government bad" and "muh heckin' big chungus free landholders are da best form of society!".
>>16535970>chudsJust say vatniks. It triggers them way more when they realize that the slur has broke the "butthurt belt" containment and is now wide-spread globally.
>>16533783is there somewhere a more detailed map of the northern territories. Especially the are east of today's Estonia and Latvia. On most maps, they contain PLC to the borders of the later Livonia (modern borders of southern Estonia and Latvia), I never realized it went beyond lake Peipus
>>16533783Ultimately, Poland's union with Lithuania was a disadvantage, as it shifted the focus to the east vs Russia and south vs the Turks when the real threat was the Germans and the more valuable real estate was in Silesia, where the coal and iron was (and thus future industries).
