there are only pretenders to the throne, bad actors doing improv. The only thing all governments have in common is that they work best when they seek to become something like the platonic form of government. It's still aspirational. The government is never actually that good. But when government seeks to bring itself into alignment with the soul, that's better than when it doesn't.
