Was looking at this chart by Dr Jerry Pournelle the author of many fine SF novels many with Larry Niven. Check out "Lucifer Hammer" a great book from the early 1980's. The chart seems right but it also feels like a lose > lose type situation. I guess I'm trying to say that it doesn't seem to fit the real world views and beliefs of a lot of folks, myself included. I mean there is a need for some limited amount of Government at 3 to 4 levels ie City,County,State,National to protect an take care of human needs but it has always been the psychopaths and sociopaths who get in the way an smother the freedom loving souls who exist in every society. Yes people are the problem and they have different ideas about how to get from point A to point B. How to find harmony in that situation is the problem because almost all politicians want to keep their power an grow it. It is in their genes a personality trait if you will. Some are very focused on becoming supreme leader or the biggest fish in their pond and a few very evil types don't care how they get there. So I guess in one way the chart above does show a end result but it is not the big picture on what is really happening or how so many different governments come into existence. I also don't think that Socialist and Communist are just dangerous but good ? I believe that Fascist and Socialist are the same an just a different point of view, which is always dangerous and never good. A strong heavy handed government is never good and as always everything in moderation may be the answer but that never seems to remain static. My 2 cents.
