There are many types of governments to choose from so I think it’d be best to look at theirs and cons of some. As discussed in Leviathan, I don’t think that an absolute monarchy would be the least dystopian. I believe that trying to maintain the image of the sovereign Continue reading
I feel as if an ideal democracy is the least dystopian form of government. In an ideal democracy, everyone regardless of race, religion, gender identity, and sexual identity can have an equal shot at good life.
