There is no government. There are people and brains, and the way you can influence both to behave in a certain way. The question is though, is the democratically educated citizen the best and most competetive you can imagine?

>There is no government.
spooks
>>76065698
>Islamofascism
highly unlikely, religion is too easy to criticize
>communism
communism has many definition / interpretations
>national socialism
the powers that be seem to be more interested in a one world government, but imo that's impossible, so they'll drop the idea eventually
china is shaping to be the winner of this game. whatever that means

Utopian communism is actually the best form of government but it's almost unreachable. There were people trying to apply this system and make a small community living together in peace. However, they bankrupted or the communities fell down.
What about an AI that makes the decisions for us?

I am actually a huge fan of this idea. Maybe a sort of communism that doesn't rely on humans who are prone to error.

>almost unreachable
More like a fairy tale.
Maybe this is the last political era of the biological humanity as we knew it.

And relies on programmers to make an AI without bugs and backdoors.

Western liberal democracy only functions correctly with an educated and critical voter base. When you have partisan politics with either side frothing with hate at the other then the inherent mutual compromise required in forming effective democratic governance is mooted.
Universal suffrage cannot continue to exist in its current form. I think we'll see autocratic governments popping up all over the place.
