look at society as a junior highschool..

different people according to their wants , interests and values congregate together based on their similarities and or differences....and some groups have more of a "dominant personality" and hence can affect the overall society more than others.....


goverments are 1 of those groups.

and they mutate and disolve etc through time just like anything else.

its not a matter of "working" or "not working" ... they maintain or disolve based on the make-up of their consituency and how well they reciprocate the wants and desires of that constituency.... but just like a human being - they eventually die.

just like "united states democracy" (whatever that is) will eventually die.


in my opinion no "goverments" really "work" - they're just a subcollective form of social manipulation - or "social organization" ( depending on how you look at it) - and how well they fufill that task defines how long they "live".

but all civilizations fall in time.
