Jul 26, 2018 at 12:12 comment added nzaman Could you address oligarchies specifically? Why is it likely to fail, and what would a member of the ruling class need to watch out for?
Jul 26, 2018 at 1:33 comment added Thorne But we are talking about when it all goes wrong which is not the question. Can it work and everyone be happy? Yes. As you pointed out, even anarchy can work if everyone behaves.
Jul 26, 2018 at 1:16 comment added Kilisi Sure, but some forms of government the processes for removal of problems are directly against the prosperity of the citizens.....
Jul 26, 2018 at 1:13 comment added Thorne Which is exactly what I said. The form of government becomes important when it all goes badly. The form of government defines the processes for the removal of problems.
Jul 26, 2018 at 1:00 comment added Kilisi maybe very short term, but many forms of government are inherently unstable for many reasons. Total anarchy is fine so long as everyone behaves themselves. Stability is about having processes, protocols etc,. in place to maintain long term.
