Uh-oh. That sounds like Obama Meets The Taliban.The only way for society to be truly progressive is to have autocratic leadership providing strict moral order.
I used to be a Libertarian. I realized that their politics and their ethics were too limited, and that certain government services are necessary for a healthy society. I used to be a Liberal. I realized that people do not behave morally when left to their own devices, and that government-enforced morality is necessary for a healthy society. Democracy cannot provide this, as people will vote for more spending and lower taxes and to remove every impediment to their hedonistic, decadent lifestyles. Democratic government is a slow and ugly process of regression to society's lowest common denominator. People are simply too lazy, selfish, and stupid to do what's best for themselves without someone looking over their shoulder.

I disagree. We need laws to prevent people from harming others; we do not need laws telling people what to do "for their own good."

The way you explain it, it actually sounds good.
But who decides what is moral/ethical? Are those things not subjective?
"Moral" is a relative term.
What country currently has this form of government?
1. If a fascist system is autocratic, do you see problems in people handing off power as it seems it would require a bit of a cult of personality, given the examples of German, Spain, and Italy.
2. Do you see general societal harshness towards what is determined to be lesser people a general feature or a bug?
