My opinion: different forms of government are necessary to deal with the needs of society to handle differing epochs. Thus, e.g., the initial rise of the Taliban, in its early days, was a good thing to restore law & order in many Afghan villages ravaged by anarchy and lawlessness. But soon, the Taliban had overstayed its welcome and grew into the monstrosity it was when America finally invaded to bring justice down upon Al-Qaeda and Mullah Omar.
Amy- You’re absolutely correct in that there definitely remains a few absolute monarchies left in the world. And I do wonder if that lecturer’s remark is intended for specific regions? Either way, I appreciate this piece.
