Hobbes: The only truly effective government that will not eventually devolve into pure anarchy is one governed by one entity. Two minds can never form complete harmony in regards to ethics, politics, or the organization of man, and because of this, no matter how great they may appear on paper, democracies can never work. Man can not break away from his natural tendencies for self-preservation and so cannot be given liberties to rule himself. All power must be given to an individual. This will ensure that their selfish actions to preserve their own life will likewise benefit the common man in place to serve them.
