Socialism is what many people would say is the preferred government.
Yet, many people would take the view of which Margaret Thatcher shared ...in essence, stating, that perhaps socialism appears like a great system, until you run out of other people's money.
But, if it isn't other people's money ....on the contrary, viewed as everyone's money, then that is viewed more as communism.
Communism in its purest form may seem well and good, yet name one country where it works well in the long term without eventually turning into a dictatorship.
I guess, other forms of government can turn into a dictatorship ...if a dictator is poised and crafty enough to take it over.
It would seem there would be a need for checks and balances to prevent that ...and it does appear the U.S. Constitution has provided for those safeguards, yet what would prove to be the unraveling conditions where even that would not be enough??
I would think that the problem would be when those who hold office would be so wholly unholy as to not care to do their job the way they are supposed to ...and become self-serving, to a degree.
Self-serving may appear as serving others, as long as the others also help serve you.
The question then becomes: "What serves us all?"
The answer is simple: "Jobs."
Jobs generate productivity, and productivity makes it so we are not dependent upon those who would make us less strong ...in personal character and as a nation.
With jobs, comes the consideration of who provides the jobs, and how much of the well-being they provide for the individuals who work.
When the well-being of individuals become in question, individuals unite ...and unions are formed. Yet, over time, the unions seem to often support a lack of productivity ...swinging the pendulum too far from the plumb-line of reason.
Businesses often responded by moving their production away from the out-of-control downward spiral of non-productivity ...often to the nations outside the influence of what they feel hinders and controls them. Though, sadly, the countries who have what they'd consider favorable business atmospheres, also have almost always adopted practices and conditions even worse than what alarmed those who initially formed unions in our country.
