    What kind of government would your ideal government be? Would it be a democracy? A communism? Something else?

    I'm an anarchist. I have an ideal society, but no government.

    I don't believe in the possibility of an ideal government. So long as humans are imperfect, government will always be imperfect.

    As James Madison writes in Federalist 51, "But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary."

    Any government can be made awful depending on the people in it. My Ideal government is a constitutional monarchy where the King or Queen is my idea of a good person. Through a constitutional monarchy Britain became the greatest power on earth and we could have been to ones to unite the world under one banner. Then again my views are more than a little extreme.

    Stateless communism, obviously. Communes organised into a non-hierarchical federation.

    And how would decisions be made as a whole for the federation?

    For me, I would say a direct democracy with socio-communist economic principles
