@LeftistLawyer@kolektiva.social Again, that's a very Hobbesian view. The argument that "might creates order" is not only imperialist, but leads to the conditions which you seem to object to. Additionally, this has not been the case across all human history. In certain places, "Grog's 20 enforcers" have been met by 60 who ban together - even if temporally - for protection and mutual defense. There are numerous ways states have been conceived of across time, and we do ourselves a disservice.
