You beat me fatty. I was going to say that monarchy or some other form of absolutist government is ideal... when it works. One perfect leader is all you need so long as he does everything right. Problem is when he goes crazy or his son turns out to be Nero the 2nd.

Of course the risks are bad, when somebody like Hitler or Stalin comes into power.

Democracy is not ideal as it is a form of Ochlocracy.
It is also, like almost all form of government, a form of dictatorship by a system and this can lead to dehumanization.

However I am unaware of a more stable structure for society, so it gets my vote!

Well, that and the fact that what one person thinks is benevolent may differ from what another person thinks is benevolent. Althow it worked somewhat well in Butan in the past.
