Theodemocracy

Absolute Monarchy. No room for the degenerates to have a voice in government and no chance of them ever getting into it. One man, trained from birth to rule; one voice; one nation. Beautiful.

Anarchism, it's natural selection made into a political system.

Stalinist dictatorship

Feudal Monarchy, if we're to have an Empire, the Persian King of Kings.

Whatever it is, there must be autonomy to the peoples, globalism is a disease.

The Kingdom of God

Anarchism is the ideal.

>No room for degenerates to have a voice in government.

There is no single best system, its always context dependant. For example, if your country contains an incredibly brilliant and compassionate potential ruler, having a democracy with fixed terms is a drawback while having an absolute monarchy would be a plus. But if your next potential leader is a corrupt simpleton, you'd better be running some kind of limited terms democracy or your country is facing a long, dark decline.

This triggers the stalinist.

constitutional monarchy, with a bicameral legislature with supremecy resting in the lower house.

essentially the UK

Distributist republic with strong cultural, ethnic, religious and linguistic homogeneity.

I think you mean Canada, Mr Williamsfordshire

correct

People are autonomous agents and need to have their inherent dignity respected. And while each individual is different in talent they are equal in moral worth. So an ideal government is one that draws its legitimacy from the people as a whole and from each individual equally, so some form of democracy.

Furthermore, even though the government should follow the will of the people (its source of legitimacy and power) it must respect the individuality of each person. Therefore, it must possess some sort of framework that will protect rights and freedoms against the general will. Also, the mechanism through which these rights and freedoms should be protected must not be susceptible to popular opinion. This means the best form of government will be one with a liberal (in the civil sense) constitution and an independent judiciary.

In terms of the function of the government it must be one that serves the people without consideration for anything other than their benefit as effectively and efficiently as it can. I would say that this means it must be secular, separated from any sort of religious body or private interest. It also means it must ensure the necessities of life for each of its citizens so it should have some sort of welfare system and must provide for the safety of its citizens.

Finally, the form of the government should be small as need be, but composed of various different individuals who each specialize in the various posts the government requires. And the structure of the government would require a hierarchy but also one with division of powers so as to aide in efficiency as well as combat corruption.

Tribalism

So the ideal government would be a constitutional republic that has a distinction between its legislative, judicial and executive.

The legislature must be directly elected by the people and the executive either directly or indirectly responsible to the people. And while the legislature should be composed of whomever the people most wish to be represented by, the executive should be composed of individual who are competent in the areas of government policy. The judiciary must be independent of both, unelected, and have the power to protect the people from a legislature or executive which would infringe on the rights of the individual or some collective minority.

The government must also have welfare policies that provide at the very least the bare minimum standard that everyone needs to survive (food, water, shelter, job, safety etc.)

Enlightened monarchy.

hunter gather egalitarianism.

Omitting all other factors, hypothetically, don't Autocracies have the capability to be both much better, and much worse, than democracies? When three hundred people of varying competencies are involved in decision making, the result tends to be in the middle. But if one very skilled, or very unskilled, individual is the decider, the results are very good and very bad respectively.

So going off that, a democracy where exceptional leaders can gradually gain more power would be the best right? Democratic long enough to maintain the system until an extraordinary leader arises to take full control?

Ethical Leadership.

- The best of the people chosen by the people to lead the people.
- No term limit. Till death does him away.
- Successor should not be his son - unless miraculously his son is also the best of his people. (morally speaking)

Constitutional monarchy. All the liberal benefits of constitutional thought, plus all the benefits of having one ruler trained from birth, a ruler whom the plebs can think of when they think of their state, etc etc

Read Hegel get turnt

Fuck y'all are actually convincing me on this monarchy thing....

How would you deal with the obvious question of a king who abuses his power or just rules badly? The country would just become a shit hole and they couldn't do anything other than overthrow the ruler or wait for him to die and hope his son is better.

Combines the worst of monarchy (irreplaceability) and the worst of democracy (chosen by the people). Way to have a dumb leader whose only talent is convincing the crowd ad aeternam.

A bad ruler would have a tenuous hold of the military at best.
Enough uproar from the people would get him removed pretty quick.

In an elective monarchy the king is there to serve the people, if the people are unhappy with the king's rule they have the right to overthrow him and elect a new monarch to the throne.

This is a good idea because military coups always result in a good government

t. pinochet

Yeah he would just get displaced (likely violently), but the constitution itself would remain, and the constitution would remain binding for the new monarch, who would have a huge reason to uphold the constitution this time (because all of his authority is based on his claim that the previous monarch failed to uphold the constitution). It's a self-regulating system, much more effectively than democracy is.

Forget rights, man, if they aren't able to actually overthrow him (cuz he becomes a tyrant and begins ruling with an iron fist) then whatever people have the "right" to is irrelevant.

That coup wasn't predicated upon the claims to authority of a previous constitution, which was why it failed. There are many forms of monarchy, and the liberal constitutional model prevents pinochet type scenarios pretty dang well

Technocracy.

Hummanity fags would be deemed unnecessary and promptly turned into a nutritious paste.

If you rely on the military to regulate the political system you are essentially turning it into a military dictatorship or oligarchy in which the highly ranked military figures rule over the leader who would simply be a figurehead

Good luck getting the army to fight for you when you want to remove their legitimate, God given rights.

And this a bad thing because?

because a military has none of what is sought after in good leadership, other than the ability to acquire it

>How would you deal with the obvious question of a king who abuses his power or just rules badly?
You can't. There's no good answer for this. That's why democratic systems, in general, perform better than autocracies: the populace might not typically be great at selecting leaders but they still do a better job on average than just appointing the guy whose sole accomplishment to date is being the old ruler's son (or worse, being the guy who managed to violently seize power).

The whole "one ruler trained from birth" thing sounds really great until you read any actual fucking history at all and realize that assholes and idiots are represented about equally in royal families as in the general population. And contrary to what the idiots replying to you are saying, there are countless cases of them managing to stay in power for decades, fucking up their country in the process, despite their unpopularity.

There are plenty of historical examples of oligarchies and military dictatorships you can look at. In fact, plenty of them are still around. You're welcome to go visit one. Hell, you're welcome to go live in one.

No, stop typing -- the fact that you can name a few that aren't/weren't outright hellish and were successful by the standards of the time doesn't mean that they aren't in general outperformed by liberal democracies (that's classic liberalism, yes).

I'm not going to waste half an hour explaining to you why most people (rightly) think military dictatorships are bad. You're welcome to do your own research on that. But the fact that they ARE bad is glaringly obvious if you just open your eyes.

I was only memeing.

Cool. Genuinely glad to hear it.

There are plenty of people on here who REALLY DO idolize monarchies, unfortunately, so the rest of y'all, consider that post directed at you. You know who you are.

representative government is so 20th century. Direct democracy is the future.

Suddenly a 100% pay bonus for military members. Plus a complimentary plot of land that's tax-free for 10 years. And all the bunda you can tap every Friday night at Madam's.

>Direct democracy
This might have worked in Ancient Athens and early Switzerland but for moderns nations with populations far exceeding tens of millions the people will gradually consolidate into special interests group and eventually political parties. It happened in the USA, Australia and many other nations and it will happen again. Not even George Washington could stop it, despite his great influence and disdain for partisan politics.

That's just the way people are, m8. Humans in modern industrial states are also somewhat fractured into sub-cultures or socio-economic blocs. These are proxies for ethno-religious differences that used to exist.

Representative forms of government are bretty gud, but fatally flawed, as a look at any will reveal.

I'm not disagreeing with you user, in fact I agree with everything you just said. Direct democracy may be a superior form of government but it is within human nature to consolidate into groups of like-minded individuals and act in said group's interest.
Therefore any time direct democracy is attempted it will gradually degrade into a representative democracy over time.

Dictatorship lottery.

Random dictator chosen from population every year.

If by
>the future
you mean the thing that will turn us into the last men, then yes.

What if an insane man gets chosen?

Not just in practice, but in principle, direct democracy is only coherent for smaller collectives and city states, where there is a common identity. Lacking that common identity, a representative is necessary, to whom you can point and say "He did it." If every bill and proposal is immediately decided on by the populace at large, all you have is a spambot, hyper-media-centric form of politics. Think the last us political election but on mad crack, and at the end of the day people would feel like they weren't represented at all, because some faceless aggregate "highest vote" is making the decision, rather than a representative human being.

Then he will probably have a ton of fun.

a society where even an insane man can rule without being a danger

We've already got that, it's called an utopia.

That's a nice ideal but in reality the general populace is lazy and will only overthrow a ruler in an ABSOLUTE crisis situation. And so we're left with the same problem as in democracy wherein the apathy of the people allows shitty rulers to thrive.

And that this is running our countries to the ground.
5.6 million citizens in Denmark.
~700.000 is on welfare, and ~800.000 are working in the government/municipals.
So our welfare state is more or less held up by some 1.5 million workers.
Shit will come crashing down within a decade or two.

There are two systems. One is social democracy, the best available mainstay system between Enlightened Despots. Enlightened Despotism, with a truly skilled leader, is the perfect form of government.

Constitutional republic with unchangeable checks and balances. Basically the early US

That means the people are generally just as shitty, and when a new leader is installed, debate can cause a war to follow the revolution agianst who is loyal to who. Then eventually another shit person rises to power and the cycle continues.

Tribal gonvernment ruled by the Lex Salica

Why is Veeky Forums so incredibly cucked. THe fact you faggots are even taking seriously the idea of a 'objectively best form of government' pretty much shows none of you fucks have ever read an actual work of political philosophy, or even a history book.
All politics is at attempt at ordering a 'just' society, and there's still no consensus on what a just society would even look like after over 3000 years of trying to work it out.

>all these unironic monarchists

Fascism or Absolute Monarchy

Constitutional Monarchy with an episcopal state Church, unelected upper and elected lower house. Representative democracy in lower house elected through the first-past-the-post constituency system.

The branches of government check each others' power as they will have differing temperaments.

The lower house will ask for radical change.
Monarch and Church will resist due to their instinctive reactionary attitudes
The House of Lords shall find the pragmatic third-way through the conflict with their learned and experienced minds.
Concessions will be given instead of the original proposal - resulting in a smooth transition of policy.
The inherently conservative nature of the system gives it legitimacy among the intellectual class.
The Crown, Church and Country give the appearance of legitimacy among the general populace - as well as adding royal patronage and beauty for the man's spirit.

It's not perfect, there will be turbulence as is present in any system that isn't complete autocracy.

It's the best sstem of government known to man but it needs to be argued for when the tides of opinion are organising against it.

It's what Britain used to be before the leftists pozzed it up.

>Mormon scum.

Daily reminder, Christ-chan is Catholic.

anarchocentrism

I agree.

Divine monarch ruling from gilded palace by arbitrary fiat

Anarcho-monarchistic-democracy

Is there anything we can't anarchize?

regicide!!!!

Cromwell was no better, a federation based on nepotism is likely worse than a monarchy...everyone else at the time agreed with this too

I think the warrior gang system in mad max was pretty cool

To have an objective best government you need objective criteria.

Enlightened despotism

Its running Sweden to the ground because here we decided to take in hundreds of thousands of migrants in just a couple of years who all of course need their own fat welfare checks because surprise surprise they cant get jobs.

Victorian monarchy, and catholic theocracy when we reach that point

My nigga.

Anarchism?
Anarcho-statism is a legitimate ideology as it's just saying we must flood our nation with refugees to create a new strong people like the Nile

Constitutional Monarchy with a strong legislative tradition

Also sieg heil!

one where we are rightfully subservient to our machine overlords. Only an all powerful A.I. connected to sum of all human knowledge could possibly control a large populous of humans efficiently without becoming corrupted.
