  1. Government are also a tough thing to make workable (not "right" because governments have competing memes and interests which always make it far from perfect). It's an evolution of body of law an collectivism, I.e. democracy (Greek "demos"; of the people) that have succeed best at this. Possibly because the voter becomes a small stakeholder. Democracy has succeeded in government over dictatorships (one man rule) either ideological or not, feudal oligarchies (whether traditional or not) or theocratic governments like Iran is today. Communism is the forth road of government. Not much of a success. In about 1970 there were 29 Communist states. Now, there is 5. Diminishmemt is not an expansion of an ideal.
