Think again, sunshine!

I won’t say we have to go full authoritarian, It’s just not possible to retain non-governance, (ex. Anarchy) of any sort. The absence of power creates power vacuums. There’s too many people out there willing and ambitious enough to take your freedom for their “greater good.” You need to have some sort of governance to at least avoid this.

But the problem with government is, loads of people are corruptible. The most heinous people in society tend to gravitate to positions of authority. So, unless you can create a government that has so many balance checks that no single group can change the world easily then it’s doomed to fail eventually too.

And opposing that...? You have a system of government that can’t pass or eradicate any laws or regulations because people who are in power can’t agree, so nothing ever happens.

If there’s a perfect form of government, I’ve never heard of it. And it’s probably not possible anyways. Because what one man needs another man may not. One problem may not be a problem to another. It’s fine the way it is vs. it’s not fine.
