Surely you realize that if the power vacuum isn't filled by a democratic or mostly democratic or even somewhat democratic government, it will be happily met by a despot or a warlord?

The steady state of parts of the globe that don't have governments is 'government, but by cartels or warlords or revolutionary people's liberation armies'.

Which have all the powers of governments, without any of the self-constraints, legal processes, protected abilities for petition or redress, or mechanisms for peaceful transfer of power.
