yeah but people who werent able to live highly above all urges end up getting exiled, or accused of being witches and crap sometimes.

its not without problems. religious institutions also became corrupt when they were the institute of political power. for example, popes had orgies with prostitutes, violated the rules, got super drunk and took advantage the same as other tyrants. people were even assassinated by pope-hired hitmen IN CHURCH.

if you look historically at them, its not quite as romantic as it seems. because as good as it is to have morals, they must be somewhat flexible and apply even if only a little to the ruling class as well.

if you end up being starved to death and exiled from your community because you got caught having sex before marriage, or stoned or something over being a little drunk, it gets excessive and unrealistic for even the best person. Because we are still human.

like an autocratic monarchy shares many similar pros/cons to it in a lot of ways. You might have the best king, but you also might have the worst -- and putting it in controlled social circles makes leaders inbred and genetically inferior -- examples like ivan the terrible happened due to genetic defects causing autism and mental retardation (man played with toys as adult and drank mercury and beat his head off stone bricks)

so even if you can have best king, more often than not you have do-nothing mediocre kings, and sometimes horrific monsters.

a lot of the islamic states are really good examples of poor theocracies. the elites and their kids are rich, live like us have drug parties whatever above the rules. but the common man has a second set of rules to follow.
