Will regionalization help democratization in Morocco?

Japan was defeated militarily before the first atomic bombing.

Not entirely, the government that perpetuated all the atrocities was still in power, and they still had enough man-power to re-invade Manchuria.

Yeah I am familiar [...] nukes dontcha know.

All countries act in a similar way, Americans at least get a say in their government, and their government actually has to placate them, rather than shit on anyone who has a different opinion. Look at Syria for example, at the first sign of dissent people start disappearing, and I'm sure the same happens in Morocco and other Arab nations.

Unless you're a royal yourself/ affiliated to the ruling class, I don't see why you would be against you having a say in a government. Yes, democracy has elected people who ended up doing terrible shit externally, but you're making the assumption that a monarch cannot. And by the way, in a real democracy, humanism is essentially taken as word of God, as in, the President can't just abolish free speech (martial law excluded) and imprison whomever they want. However, in Morocco the King can have you imprisoned for literally nothing, and no one can really say anything, because humanism isn't exactly a key value in present day Arab culture.

A democracy can use the pretext of war to position civilians as Guinea pigs to test a new weapon and also send a thuggish threat to the Soviet Union.

What? I'm not sure what you're talking about here. The A-bomb wasn't tested in Japan, it was done simply to avoid an invasion of an Island that is known to be extremely hostile not only to themselves, but to foreigners on a whole other extreme scale.

Don't put me in the position as a defender of all monarchies in general. NO! Don't try to put me in that awkward position. I was defending monarchy in Morocco today

Then why are you shitting on all democracies, while praising an autocratic monarch like the King of Morocco?
