Update April 2024: Since I first published this article in April 2016 I now realise how glib it was. The world has got a lot meaner and dictators seem to be ascendant; certainly right-wing politics at the very least. The number of global whingers and whiners seems to be reaching epidemic levels and WOKEism and tokenism is at a point of absurdity. The hatred of the Jewish state (Israel) is certainly at an all time high since WW2 because of an ongoing genocide in Gaza, whilst Russia is now playing its roulette with peace in Europe, as Trump looks to take America into very odd waters.
Which leads me to my rewrite of the original article.
Democracy is not the only manager of Anarchy, for many "regimes" keep true Anarchy at bay, be they despotic (Putin with Russia and North Korea), Authoritarian (Burma and Arabian peninsular countries for example), Communistic (China and pals). Any regime that manages true Anarchy will do and the only country not able to manage anarchy at the moment seems to be Haiti, where gang rule is now seemingly the new norm, forcing their neighbour, the Dominican Republic to deport 10,000 unwelcome migrants a week.
Update July 2025: Haiti remains unable to manage its anarchy, for gangs still control many parts of the country, which has descended into a sort of medieval feudal state. Woman suffer most, as they always do, whilst guns flood in, mostly from the USA.
