Wouldn't you say the government how you have it now is the result of evolution of previous experiments?
Men are social enemies. They need hiarchy.

Men need hierarchies based on merit, knowledge, wisdom, skill...
The only ones who need hierarchies based on violence and threat thereof are tyrants, criminals and slave owners.

need =/= reality
So?
You said men need hierarchies.
Yes. There are different ones.
Some good, some violent.
Which do you prefer?
Remember that except for government and the mafia most hierarchies by far are not based on violence...
The norm are voluntary hierarchies.
Hierarchies based on violence are the exception in our lives.
True, dominance hierarchies are different than hierarchies based on merit, skill or competence of some kind. Nevertheless, dominance hierarchies exist and will continue to exist. The question is how to deal with that phenomena?
Non violent.
but how do you govern men who live for altruism and the collective? They are not they capable of it themselves.
Strong selfish leaders emerge. And they are needed.
Nothing wrong with leaders, unless they force you to follow them and finance them.
