The fallacy of Good Government
What is a government? How is it created? How is given power? Are essential questions to good government.
Government: It is created by a individual(s) who gets support by might or savoy. These are the basics.
Let’s start with Communism. It that everyone is equal.
Republic people choose other people to make decisions.
Democracy is the rule of the majority.
Autocracy is one person makes all the rules.
Oligarchy ruled by the elite based on criteria.
Theocracy is laws by God, interpreted by religious figure.
Fascism is Nation first above individual.
So let’s answer the questions. The government is created by people. Not one person can rule if you are a Autocracy, people have to support you. The same can be said of any government. These “supporters” create the government. The supporters of those supporters give those people the power to make the decisions.
Fallacy in “Good” government is that the 1st tier supporter down to those who have a control measure are satisfied or dissatisfied with the status quo enough to change their position in power. To put their family or distant supporters into trouble. (Take that as far as you will)
The Good Government is made by humans just as much as the Bad Government. A Government is only as good as people live with it, just as a Bad Government is as bad as people live with it. Revolutions are the changes of not better or worse Government just different because the unsupported group has had enough of old ideals.
Ask a Communist who has had good experience only with Communism. Then go ask one who had bad.
Go ask a person from a Monarchy, Oligarchy, a Theocracy from both sides of experience.
And then you’ll find they are one and the same governance because they are run by good and bad people. It’s all in what the experience is and what a majority finds they can live with.
