There is a natural limit of population for any form of goverment. If we look at the world at large, we will find it really is the case:
In the splendid country of Switzerland with a population of 8.02 million, there is an institution called ‘Landesgemeinde’ where people there practice direct democracy.
Although India calls itself ‘greatest democracy’ on earth, its democracy actually has a very authoritarian taste, For example, there is a law in India which says cinemas MUST play national anthem before films, all the moviegoers should stand for anthem. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/nov/30/indian-court-orders-cinemas-to-play-national-anthem-before-films .In a true liberal democracy, laws like this is totally unimaginable.
The ‘Indian democracy’ exists because under that system, the majority of Indians, the voice of poor people only matters on a peice of ballot paper .
Like many things in life, various political systems exist in this world for a reason. If India decided to follow Switzerland and ask indian people to practice their rights in the Indian Landesgemeinde, India will likely collapse into many very small countries each with a population of 8 million, because a political system for 8 million people can not be used to govern a country with 1 billion population.
Likewise, if China with the population of 1.4 billion adapts an American-style two-party democracy (including gun rights), China will very likely collapse into 4-5 smaller countries each with a population of more or less 300 million, because the current American system is only well-suited for a country with a population figure that ends with hundred millions.
Follow the same logic, at this rate of population growth, given the size and natural resources of America, the population of America will one day reach 1-2 billion, this means the political system of America has to change into a system designed for a billion-level country, which I’m afraid more or less resembles a Chinese/Indian authoritarian system.
