  • Ideal Form of Government

    We're starting to talk about this in another thread, so I figured I may as well start a new one. This topic seems worthy of its own. I'd like for people to get as specific as possible here. Don't just say democracy or communism or fascism. I want to know how you think local and federal authority should be balanced, how much regulation of the economy there should be, how much taxation, in addition to what the governmental structure should be.

    Frankly, I'd be amazed if anyone actually participates in this, but oh well, I can hope. I'll post some of my own ideas soon.

    Ideal Form of Government?

    No such thing. Humans will complain no matter what.

      Of course there is an ideal form of government. That is why politics exists in the first place. The state of nature/ anarchy led us to ideals which took shape as "government."

      To answer you question, lose, I believe the best form of government is a Republic or Democracy.

        Not really. Perfection cannot exist in a human world. That's like saying perfect humans exist.

          I dont recall anyone saying anything about perfect. I never said anything about it, thats for sure. I will not repeat myself, read my previous post.

              Ideal form of government is a contradiction. There is no such thing. I think most people already know my answer to this.

                Government itself is not perfect. Government is a device to reach "perfect." Under all models of governments and economies, the state is supposed to organize people to attain the greater good.

                    Your answer is wrong. Anarchy leads to government. That is the very reason we are submitting ourselves to a state in the first place. Now go cut your hair into a mohawk and stick your toungue out.

                    Besides, the political economy requires a means of distribution of resources. Anarch does not have a system which can hold people accountable, nor does it have a system which handles the distribution of precious scarce resources.
