>Lawyers in Power: Burn the nation to the ground>Soldiers in Power: Re-built it and took it to greatness Was this just an exception to the rule or are military governments truly better than civil governments?
>>18121866The bottom three were basically all engineers and engineers are the best at managing countries. Napoleon studied engineering to become an artillery officer, Berthier was a talented topographical engineer and Carnot was an engineer too although he was mostly a mathematician and a physicist, lawyers can't compete against scientific pragmatism
>>18122361Kinda ironic that the two U.S. engineer presidents, Taft and Carter, were both 1 term presidents.
>>18122367>TaftHoover*, my mistake
>>18122367engineers are usually not that popular because they lack the charisma to enthrall the masses, like lawyers
>>18121866>Napoleon was good for FranceIQ so low it's a blackhole.
>>18122371Don't know about Hoover but Carter had charisma, and a kind heart. BUT he bit off more than he could chew, and I remember reading something about, despite being a kind hearted humanist, he was a bit too logical at times.
>>18122369Hoover was president at the worst possible time tho
>>18122377I mean popular with the masses in a cheap way. It's easy to connect with people to greediness than through altruism. I heard that Carter was considered a "weak" president while in latin america is considered a great president because he ended american intervention and support to military coups. Maybe, deep down, the american people like iron fist leaders with a kill count
>>18122376So whats your solution? Keep the Committee Of Public Safety?
>>18122424If forced to pick between that and Napoleon? Yeah. Napoleon somehow made things worse.
>>18121866Lawyers are always in power because they’re the ones the run the most fundamental systems of the government. Do you think Napoleon didn’t have lawyers doing the actual running of government?
>>18122809Napoleon detested lawyers. The only higher-up lawyer in his government was Cambaceres cause he was the only one he trusted
>>18121866Did Berthier and Carnot even have an governmental administrative roles outside of anything war related? Meanwhile Napoleon’s second in the government was Cambaceres (a lawyer).
>>18122376>Successfully and surgically hijacked revolutionary inertia from proto communists and became a dominant military force in Europe once again.How he was able to transmute this was remarkable
