Monarchy would be better. It'd do away with all the bullshit, and when shit goes bad everyone knows who's to blame.

Seriously though, considering the harm done by the centralized govt. I'd like to shrink it down as much as possible. What does California have in common with Ohio? Not a damn thing. The policy that California wants comes at the expense of other states. I can drive to the capital of my state in a few hours, but no one in DC has any reason to respond to me.

Well, like they say, the best government is a benevolent dictator. And the worst is a malevolent dictator.

I am also against creating institutionalized centers of power, that corrupt power-seekers spend their lives then infiltrating. That's why moving in a more anarchist/grassroots direction seems like the only sensible way forward

and i can't foresee any of that happening unless we dismantle the military-industrial complex, the scourge of the world.
