Even the best monarchs do not justify monarchy; it is a position inherently created for abuse. You may have a good king, or two, or ten - even kings who WILL put your wellbeing before their own interests - but invariably they will always be outnumbered by those who seek the position for the sake of abuse, or who succumb to the structure of the position which encourages abuse. Likewise with landlording. The problem isn't with individuals, the problem is with the system.

Yeah. Benevolent dictatorship is the most efficient government type. The only problem is the odds of getting benevolence plus the impossibility of keeping it.

are you trying to meme on its efficiency or the long odds of keeping that efficiency? It's obviously more efficient for me to just decide things than go ask you your opinion and 'sell' you on it. The time I would spend getting your buy in, I can spend making more decisions. For the long odds, just look up 'absolute power corrupts absolutely'
