Yes, it is because people are afraid of the painful transition from authority-based rule to relative freedom that they cling to the current convoluted system with all its problems.<br /><br />I think that the natural results of anarchy don't always have to be cataclysmic. If we only needed to make small corrections due to small errors, we would almost not feel the struggle. It's because we have allowed the selection process to be authority-based for so long that we now fear the correction back to more natural leadership modes will be painful and may involve heavy casualties.

But the problem with allowing anarchy to run its natural course, is that a lot of people are inherently evil, untrustworthy cads. And in the course of a natural leader rising to the top and eventually establishing himself and regaining control over the chaos, a lot of people (the weakest, probably) would die. <br />I understand that's part of the "natural selection" process you're referring to, but I think that's why people are so resistant to anarchy. I personally think it would lead to a stronger nation - a lot of the wimps would be pushed aside or destroyed. Our leadership would be better for it and the nation would be more likely to follow the new leadership.Nikkis Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900207220789667368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069432629974606542.post-27112799408364708962014-02-24T08:37:24.130-08:002014-02-24T08:37:24.130-08:00Yes, I agree, Julia.Yes, I agree, Julia.Aya Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339668413030878426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069432629974606542.post-44373618102395366632014-02-24T08:22:07.460-08:002014-02-24T08:22:07.460-08:00True leadership proves itself, such as leaders in ...True leadership proves itself, such as leaders in traditional Native American tribes who were esteemed for their prowess on the battle field, or ability to heal the sick with herbs.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147781152448695481noreply@blogger.com
