Government
Thelema does not concern itself with government or mundane politics. In particular Thelema does not promote the creation of an anarchic society without any form of legal restriction. Thelema discards any notions of morality, so that it does not consider murder to be “wrong”, for instance, but for the same reason it does not consider the punishment of murderers by society to be “wrong”, either. Thelema is an entirely individual philosophy.
Any form of government could be said to be consistent with Thelema. Some consider that Thelema implies, if not an anarchic society, then at least a libertarian one, where citizens are generally given as much freedom as possible to discover and follow their wills, provided only that they accord that freedom to other citizens, as well. In reality, the only requirement Thelema imposes is that one should do one's will. A brutally oppressive dictatorship could be said to be consistent with Thelema if that dictator was acting in accordance with his will.
Since one person's will cannot be known by another, Thelema cannot sensibly be used to promote one form of government over another, and one policy cannot be said to be “more Thelemic” than another. To do so would be to merely transform Thelema into an alternative brand of morality, something it explicitly rejects. That being said, since the Thelemite attends to his own will, it is reasonable to suppose that the majority of Thelemites would not have an excessive interest in the lives of others, and that most would therefore have an preference for individual freedom and liberty over excessive governmental control.
