I stand corrected, I always thought zakat was a form of taxes but I have now realized that value taken from hard working people for profit by the state is the inherently haram. Zakat comes from long term savings and they go directly to the ones in need.

You live to learn.

This leads us to the question: what is the optimal or preferred type of government/state we need?

There is no name for it.

Monarchy or Anarchy.

I would say a limited government, similar to the model of the Prophet (pbuh) and the four Caliphs. I don’t think most people would accept monarchy, and full anarchy doesn’t seem practical either, since such couldn’t defend themselves against external organized states.

I listened to saifedeen’s opinion on monarchy and it made some sense. The state and its constituents should have a ying/yang relationship where a balance should be struck and incentives polarized.

I listened too but I don’t know how to start a new monarchy in 2025.

A state with limited reach.
