What is the ideal political regime and what is the worst?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The ideal political regime is meritocracy, where the most capable lead, allowing freedom to flourish; the worst is fascism, a suffocating grip on the individual spirit."
According to Osho, the ideal political regime is meritocracy—rule by the most capable—because it comes closest to anarchism, his ultimate criterion, where government withers away into absolute freedom. The worst is fascism (and any dictatorship), being farthest from freedom. Evaluate systems by their proximity to anarchism: the nearer to individual liberty and self-responsibility, the better; the farther, the worse.
The best rule is by truly capable people who expand everyone’s freedom; the worst is bullies who control everything.
