What is the best one? Also, some people don't use 'anarchy' as a word for government.

Flawed question. No such thing as an ideal government. Different cultures will have different prerogatives and perspectives on the form of government suitable for their conditions/circumstances. :)

Much better to pay attention to the substance or content of the people, rather than to poke endlessly at the forms in which they choose to represent and govern over themselves.

Anarchy is on the list. What a silly poll.

In any event, perfection can only be achieved in a few worldly things; something as controversial as government is not one of them.

There can be no such thing as a perfect form of government because the very existence of a government entails a degree of imperfection. In a perfect world no man should want or need to be governed and ruled by another group for however long.

Political and religious views don't define whether you are a good or bad person, unless you want to actively hurt everyone who doesn't believe what you say.

There is no "perfect" form, nor is there a one-size-fits-all best form.

In general, however, democracy tends to be better than monarchy etc

For me, the perfect form of government would be egoarchy - rule by me.

A strong democracy is by far the best option for the government, at least in my opinion.

Progressive social policies, secularity, worker' councils (delegates elected by their respective workplaces, and subject to immediate recall; they were also paid a wage similar to everybody else in the commune), no conscription, etc.
