Theocracy has never been tried in history (not properly). Not feudalism, nor communism. What history book do you suggest I read? What countries can you show me as an example of somewhere that has tried any of them to their exact definitions?
Anyway within what is considered a 'civil' society today and knowing what we now know and with the technology that we now have, we could try. Which we haven't yet had (a truly civil society), and is debatable whether or not we have one now.
What Trump has shown the world is that the scales are uneven and need to be balanced. It is my belief that anarchism would be the best to reset them, I could easily be wrong and would hold my hands up to that. We have been taught that anarchism is a bad word and as a result, most people don't understand it. One thing is certain. Democracy isn't working, and doesn't work. Politicians hold too much power for such a small group of people, and they are easily bought, especially now when there are billionaires that can literally afford to buy a country if they wanted to.
