Now that we have arrived at the end of this series of political articles, it is time to take a look at the final form of government. To call it a form of government could even be labeled a misnomer as the true meaning of this last one is contradictory. So much time has been spent talking about how every major form of government is useless and has the tendency to include things that make it ultimately fail. This brings up the question of what were to happen if government were to just cease to exist? Why, if all of these allegedly proven methods can prove to be a recipe for a systematic governmental breakdown, why not oust government and politics in general? Well that has a name: anarchism.
Anarchism, by default, derives itself from the Greek roots an and arkhia, meaning: no rule/ruler. It might seem like the logical approach if every other system of governing other people seems to be a disaster, according to these articles. Even then, this may not be the correct way to go about governing. Just because nothing else works does not mean you abandon all reason, as this route is potentially the most disastrous of all.
The whole point of government is to create order in an otherwise chaotic and savage society. Getting rid of something that creates order, albeit via flawed methods, is simply begging for an abundance of chaos and destruction. There is one prevalent source of evidence that anarchy creates a wasteland. That example is Somalia. We know them for movies such as "Captain Phillips," "Black Hawk Down," etc. The sad truth is, they really are that wild. They have no governing body to tell them what can be done, so theft, murder, rape, human trafficking and the likes, run rampant there since there is no set of laws to dictate what they can and cannot do. Somalia is a decaying and ruinous land, and the lack of government has caused that.
The takeaway from this is that while the forms of government we know today are indeed flawed and could use some reparation, they are our main instruments with which we can govern the masses and effectively manage a massive nation. Everything has pros and cons, and governmental systems are no different. They may all have the flaws that I have previously stated in the other articles, but they each have something that makes them slightly useful. Communism and socialism do breed stagnation, but they aim to bring people together. Capitalism and democracy both may fail based on human ignorance, but they provide a way for everyone to be equal. Monarchism may be suspect to less than worthy rulers, but it consolidates power in a way that allows for facilitated ruling. Anarchism may provide “freedom," but it also breeds chaos.
