RE: Princess Anastasia Romanov escaping assassination 101 years ago!!
It is a pity that the surviving Anastasia is just a lucky legend, which is shown in this cartoon. However, real life and history are always more gloomy. It was foolish to expect something special from the new tsar of Russia, because this man was soft and completely unadapted to volitional decisions and did not willingly delve into the country's politics. And when the power becomes weak, then a replacement is found very quickly. No wonder that the monarchy in Russia came to an end, when a new charismatic leader appeared in the person of Lenin, who charmed with his ideas a disappointed and hungry people.
It's true....I often say to my wife that most political ideologies would work if everyone was honest and participated.
But because people lie, take advantage, steal, use corruption etc there is none that works.
I suppose that's why capitalism has been the most successful flawed system. The corrupt at least develop, innovate and compete to get ahead which benefits most people. Problem is they work to dominate ther after.....its flawed but the best of a terrible lot
