1st: Yes, you are ranting. Hence all the smack talk associated with the US which was only brought up as a comparitive analogy. You assumed that because Corax nuked his opponents that he wouldn't make a good ruler (note your sarcastic response: "Corax: nuked his opponents (yeah good leader that is..."). When America got brought up FOR COMPARATIVE PURPOSES you went off on a tangent about how messed up America is ("sorry but you really dare to use the fucked up USA as an example..."). You wrote 2 paragraphs about it that had nothing to do with the universe of WH40K.

2nd: You mentioned several times that numerous Primarchs would be unable to rule.

"(sidenote their physical perfection and brilliance ofind is also one of the main reasons why they are fit to rule as the distance between a mortal man and a primarch is quite vast, thus  reducing the identification potential and understanding potential between ruler and ruled, thus undermining the basis of good government."

I assume in this passage you meant to say UNfit to rule. HOWEVER, by the logic of this post the EMPORER HIMSELF would be unfit to rule because he was many levels above the Primarchs who were themselves many levels above mortals.

"even if you put your ind to somehting, your ways of doing things are shaped by your previous experiences and your education. hence the simple truth that after a couple of centuries of warfare, you will not be the ideal civil ruler, human's  social behavior does not work that way,"

"russ and his rages are eactly what makes hi unfit to be ruler"

There is nothing in canon that specifically states that following the completion of the Great Crusade the Primarchs wouldn't have been put in charge of some planet or region. The Emporer created the Primarchs in his image, to be greater than ANY mortal man. If the Emporer (who is so far detached from normal humans as to be worshipped as a God by some) is the perfect ruler of man, there is no reason NOT to assume that he had a plan in mind (once humanity and the Galaxy was united under him) to have his most trusted "sons" act as stewards for their own region of the Galaxy.

"The Emperor used his own DNA in their creation, and they were designed to be far superior to the average human: immensely larger, stronger, hardier, faster, and more intelligent. They were also incredibly charismatic, as their main role was to be generals and leaders of the Imperial military."

Main role, not ONLY role. I've stated numerous times that they were meant to command militaries but that wasn't their ONLY purpose.

About the Primarchs being scattered across the Galaxy and landing on random planets as infants: "There they quickly grew to adulthood and often rose to power, ruling, leading, and helping the inhabitants. As the Emperor found them, he was generally pleased by their actions, and quickly gave them the leadership of their respective legion"

At any rate, as long as there is continuity, bringing back the Primarchs (loyalist or otherwise) would be awesome.
