[quote=@Hillan] Dictatorship is the most effective one, look at the Roman empire, or the Franks. Nazis weren't that effective imo, they were too driven by beliefs. The average individual is pretty dumb, myself included. I don't know what's best for mankind, odds are that 99.9% of people don't either. In fact, the people are the least qualified ever to decide the fate of their country. Reason I think organized anarchism is the best is because I despise most authority figures, as most of them think they deserve respect because of their title and not because of their actions. In a OA civilization we wouldn't have to deal with that. People would sort of follow whoever it is that is the brightest, most charismatic person. Not who has the most money in their pocket. Course, Anarchism can't last forever. It needs to evolve into a civilization again. But it's a reset button for a couple of generations.[/quote] Perhaps at first but people I find will eventually flock to wealth as well. With or without a monetary system there is still a system of wealth. whomever has the most food, livestock, weapons etc. Intelligence and charisma may count out the gate but if you don't use that to build power and wealth then there's no point in following someone like that in a land without rule. Simply put there's going to be a dumb person who won't hesitate to shoot before talking.
