Are Government Systems Effective???

OK, Now there's alot of topics on this board about whether Communism or Capitalism is a better system. Both sides have raised valid points about which system is more effective and have succeeded at pointing out flaws in the systems of government. This leads me to question whether or not any form of government is effective. A governments main job is to protect the people from other oppressive governments, however if there were no forms of government then there is no need to worry about being invaded by a hostile country (as there wouldn't be any). Now without a government, as well as asystem of currency it is completely up to the people to make it on their own. This system works effectivly for every other species, and infact their own big enemy is human's and their governmental systems. In the end a government system allows humans to become lazy (in communism they're unmotivated, in capitalism they take white collar jobs which are much easier and less important than blue collar jobs, which without a government system really aren't required anyways). So with no government systems humans could simply exist as hunter/gatherers/scavengers, without worrying about paying for their childrens education, mortgage rates, etc. Now it's a natural instinct in some humans to lead their fellow humans, however this is the exact same as it is in nature with alpha males. So in the end without a system of government it pretty much gets rid of all of humanities problems (except getting food and shelter and survivng in general)

That's my 2 cents, legalize it, and check out 311's new song

Good luck. This won't happen until after the nuclear apocalypse.
