In a perfect world, all three of them could probably be fine.

But democracy has thus far proven most successful... In a way, it's kind of a the center of a spectrum ending with authoritarianism and anarchy...

Authoritarianism can sometimes start with "good intentions" like in Soviet Russia, but 99% of the time it ends in corruption somewhere along the line. Go read 1984...you'll understand.

Anarchy wouldn't work unless people were perfectly self governed by a common set of MORALS. Or if people were nonsentient....

Democracy works much of the time, but yet again corruption is popping up quite a bit in the current democracies.

I personally believe in a direct democracy(coupled with a socialist economy).

Your post was quite unnecessary. I'm merely was stating that my view of best government requires to be fit with my view of best economy, in order to work.
