The best form of government has been revealed by the plandemic.

What is the Best form of Government?
One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of hereditary right in kings, is, that nature disapproves it, otherwise, she would not so frequently turn it into ridicule by giving mankind an ass for a lion. - Thomas Paine
Monarchy
History is replete with critiques of monarchy that could fill a million essays and still leave no room for the kind words, so I will try and focus on the good here. It was consistently proficient in being the dominant form of governance through most of post-antiquity. Despite methods employed, there must be something to be said for that, and perhaps it’s also in the willingness of subjects toward subjugation, something we’ve seen too frequently during the pandemic.
Monarchy gets a bad wrap from historians and democracy sycophants. It wasn’t so bad, so long as you were the monarch or were within the royal court, though you never wanted to be too close to the monarch, nor too distant. Somewhere between dutifully obedient and forgettable was a fine balance to keep your head. Literally.
Hereditary monarchs could be temperamental, cruel, abrasive, impulsive, demanding and indifferent, though many were well educated, thoughtful, wise and measured. The problem with monarchs is you never knew what you would get next. Perhaps with advances in DNA and medical technology we could try this again to make sure syphilitic princes never became kings, who over-taxed overseas colonies into revolt.
The more interesting question we should be compelled to ask given our recent suffered tyrannies is how would a monarch have behaved the past two years aside from complete self isolation and abandonment of his subjects? Would they have done any worse by not doing anything at all? Or worse than five dozen governors, presidents and prime ministers did in locking up healthy people who were never in any harm and forcing them to be injected to enrich corporations that owned them? Would the monarch have told Pfizer and Moderna executives and his health advisors, the minute he knew their products were a travesty and deadly for his subjects, to line up in the town squares across his land to be pelted to death with rocks? Maybe we should be rethinking this one.
Democracy
The historical model for this form of government is Athens, Greece, and unlike Monarchy it often gets too much praise. It’s deficiencies are plenty, with the ‘tyranny of the majority’ the most obvious. Look around at public polling data about the pandemic lately and you’ll see this in action first hand. 81 million votes for Brandon Ice Cream Dementia? Even if it was true, which it’s likely not, this is the primo historical example of the tyranny of the majority in action. Elections have consequences and as those entrusted with counting the votes in elections know in Langley, it is only they who really matter.
The word democracy today is nothing more than a rhetorical political weapon to wield in justifying tyrannies whenever rulers need to gaslight their constituents. The assumption always being that whatever is a threat to their tyranny is a threat to democracy itself. It’s a protective shield to hide from the blowback of their own atrocious incompetency. Where the media lies, alternative media that dares tell the truth is “disinformation”. Where the media are stenographers for power, alternative media that exposes their corruption are a “threat to democracy.” This rhetoric can be weaponized for any ends today. Substack is the latest target du jour of the blue check managerial mid wits crying about the unwashed people seeking the truth from alternative sources. These cretins really detest the people, and only love one type of democracy, where the outcome can be arranged through algorithmic manipulation, censorship of the truth and mass coercion between corporate and state powers. This is called Sophisticated Democracy.
Republic
The Roman republic was truly a masterful exercise in measured and balanced governance for the time and an example for many in the future to build upon, though like all forms, not without worthy criticisms. Plato’s version would never work today. The most wise among society are ostracized or outright ignored. Even if the most worthy of the role of ‘ruler’ knew it was he who should pursue the challenge, imagine all the compromises of conscience required to fundraise, ass kiss, simplify their thoughts for the commoners and debase their moral principals to participate in such a lowly system. Plato addresses the consequences of refusing this ‘duty’: “The heaviest penalty for declining to rule is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.” And so we are constantly ruled by the most corrupt, compromised and least worthy.
The most worthy are always kept so far from power that the idea of a thoughtful and wise ruler would be impossible to realize today. Picture a campaign rally, with thousands on their phones hardly able to focus on anything longer than a goldfish can, and they’re gathered before someone like a modern-day Abraham Lincoln giving his Peoria speech against slavery. Most people would be incapable of comprehending much of it, let alone focusing on content and taking it all in for…three hours.
When Netflix documentaries (grade A propaganda), Young Turks episodes and Joe Rogan podcasts are the “deepest” philosophical engagements of a minority of the people, while the majority dance on TikTok and try to “get in her DMs”, than the majority are ill equipped to identify the wisest and most competent in society, so where democracy fails in tyranny of the majority, Plato’s republic fails in incapacity of the majority. The arrogance of the thesis is only outdone by the ignorance of its antithesis, the wisdom of the ruler collapses at the feet of the ignorant ruled. In short, the people would fail to recognize the most worthy if she destroyed all the others on a debate stage in a white pantsuit while saying “Aloha”, or he dared to say that the invasion of Iraq constituted a war crime in 2008 AND had the title of Doctor.
That leaves the greatest constitutional Republic and the greatest founding governing document ever in limbo for at least a century. One could point to the Federal Reserve Act or Income Tax Act or National Security Act and Patriot Act and two dozen other nails in this republic’s coffin, a futile exercise in historical squabbling. All of it had such tremendous potential, and still carries so much promise for so many, if only it could ever be restored.
Let Them Have 3-Layer Cake: Oligarchy - Corporatocracy - Kakistocracy
Today this is the government structure in power. This is the diagnosis the founding fathers would give the United States today if they didn’t have an immediate cardiac arrest from witnessing it’s torrid state, or from having to get the “vaccines” to get a digital passport on their Chinese made devices in order to drink wine at an Inn in nine of the thirteen original colonies. The condition of some states is sufficiently better than others, but do not celebrate the two tiered red-blue republic that has resulted with free and slave states in regards to civil liberties. A divided nation cannot stand. A completely fractured nation is doomed to collapse at any moment.
The three layer cake of present ruling structures is toxic enough. At the bottom, the foundation is one of Oligarchy. The nation is ruled by a handful of oligarchs who own and control everything, all the private property, all the systems of banking, finance, agriculture, mass production and consumption are owned or belong to roughly a number of individuals you could fit into a single Cornelius Vanderbilt railroad car with enough room to spare for white glove dining service and crates of chilled Dom Perignon.
The middle layer is mostly frothy whipping cream, high in caloric content, but low in nutrients or sustenance. It’s the gassy bloated bureaucratic machine that makes sure the Oligarchs are happy so they keep them in their bureaucratic positions. This group passes laws on their behalf and even lets them write the laws themselves. They are careerists who are happy to sell out their nation and constituents for a chance to be a part of this parasite class of managerial mediocre mid-wits. Corruption and double dealing is inherent to the job and these lifers excel at it. This includes the media, think tanks, NGOs and all state and federal bureaucracies that always do more harm than good because their only competency is appearing to do something while doing effectively little or little effectively in reality.
The top layer has the appearance of delicious diversity and equity, but it’s the thinnest and most useless part of the cake. It includes all the plastic decorations made for looks only, to be disposed of when the candles are lit. This class lacks merit or intellect, ability or wisdom. They are there to protect the middle cream from being called racist or sexist or transphobic. There is nothing the bureaucratic bloated middle of both R’s and D’s won’t do to keep from being called these superficial labels that hardly mean anything anymore.
All three layers work in unison to ignore the constitution, equality under the law; to corrupt as many institutions as possible and create cultural and social divisions to distract the masses of pacified and subdued tax payers from ever charging violently at them with pitchforks or AR-19s for looting their treasury and destroying their country. All three layers are so petrified of this outcome that when the masses pass through the people’s house while obeying the velvet ropes of statutory hall, they are prosecuted like enemy combatants and thrown into solitary confinement as political prisoners. Any perceived threat to the three-layer cake structure results in absolute tyranny, while justified by all three layers in order to “protect the integrity of democracy.”
Schengen Area
Fifty years of European rhetorical promises are bound up in the idea of the “free movement of people” across the continent. This was always a nice way for the real powers of the EU in the west to extract cheap labor from the east in the post Soviet era, draining vital human resources from Poland, Hungary, Slovakia etc. The great irony is that a decade into this century, many of the western EU nations had such high levels of unemployment that the youth of Spain, Italy and Greece headed for Poland, Hungary and Slovakia to find work. In short the EU is the ECB, the Euro, and Germany with France holding the Frau’s ball gown trailing twenty paces behind. All the rest need to be prodded, bribed, managed, controlled, swindled, blackmailed, coerced and threatened to be kept in line with the dictates of an even greater gassy bloated bureaucratic machine in Brussels. How could a nation not want to be a part of such a union? It’s a union in name only of course, and one that weaponizes the word “democracy” to keep her political flanks free from populism’s ever encroaching and enticing overtures which are not eligible for this “democracy”.
The Schengen area was to be the crown jewel of the European project and in 2008 when it was enacted, it was pretty cool. Suddenly there was no need for passports to travel between all 27 EU nations. No more border checks or “papiere bitte!” It was nice while it lasted. In a post-plandemic, post-consumerist world where GDP doesn’t matter since you will own nothing, eat the bugs, live in a pod and be happy, and with central bankers able to press CTRL+P and keep things afloat until the Weimar inflation hits, the free movement of peoples no longer matters either. Behold the latest monstrosity in pandemic medical police state impositions. Take a good look at this map Good Citizens and in a few moments you will see something truly remarkable.
For the unvaccinated, this map of 50 plus nations shows that the freest country out of all 27 EU nations, Switzerland, Norway, the Balkans and Middle East is actually….Syria. The green one. Turns out if you destroy a country for a decade with CIA and MI5 interference, fake chemical attacks and armed jihadi rebellions funded with British and U.S. taxpayer monies that the nation will in the end be more free to travel to than any other in the hemisphere. Perhaps Brussels should invite the CIA to do the same on the old continent so the people could be free again to choose what they put in their bodies and where they can travel freely based on that choice. With their dog wagging in Ukraine they might very well have already started this project.
Alas, it turns out that countries that suffer greatly have one thing going for them - priorities. There can be no tolerance for useless performative medical theatre when you’ve been bombed back to the stone ages for a decade by U.S. bombs adorned with rainbow flags. This leads us to the final answer to the question of this essay Good Citizens: The Best Form of Government?
-cracy: From Greek; Rule, Government

Nonocracy
Throughout the plandemic this has proven to be the future of government if we are to live as free peoples. That is to say, the best form of government for the people has consistently proven to be, no government at all. Look at Sweden without a majority coalition to bother, harass and pester the people. Look at Syria, still fractured into regions with no one ruling leader. Look at Italy before and after their odious globalist fellator Mario Draghi and his silly mandates. Look at the smaller regional examples like the Dakotas. North had mask mandates and greater compliance, while the South did not. There was no difference in virus spread, cases, or deaths. In many cases those who enacted the most mandates did the most damage to their people.
All the amount of performative medical theater did nothing but satisfy the egos of those in power who always feel the need to appear to be doing something. And yet almost always, without fail, in pandemics or monetary policy, or engineering wars around the world, governments end up doing far more damage to people than had they not had the power to do anything at all. Had they not even existed at all. Do not mistake nonocracy for anarchy Good Citizens, for there will still be laws, law enforcement, courts, too much bureaucracy and so on. There just won’t be assholes in any seat of power to pretend to care about “public health” for the “common good”. We’ve all had just about enough of both for a dozen lifetimes.
And so there should be a box on every ballot in every democracy or republic or three-layered oligarchy around the world that says “None of the Above”, and if that wins, the government is immediately dissolved until the next election with the hope that better candidates come along in the future. We’ll call this the Montgomery Brewster option.
Do your part to flatten the herd. https://thegoodcitizen.substack.com/p/nonocracy-and-the-montgomery-brewster
Get your Good Citizen clothing so your government knows you’re “doing your part” for the “common good” by being dumb and blind.
