Transition to benevolent anarchy - power abuse |

In another thread John Veitch talks about the ancient practice of favor and obligation, and how those in power use and abuse it. http://www.ryze.com/postdisplay.php?confid=546&messageid=3477573
I believe the benevolent anarchy approach will mitigate some of the abuse aspects of this. The power and authority to offer favors and establish obligations would remain with the citizens. This significantly dilutes the ability of any one individual to concentrate power or authority, at least via the elected official route.
The value of obligations and reciprocity remains. However, it occurs at the lowest levels Private Reply to Ken Hilving (new win) |
