No state can survive having leaders alone because there would be no one to rule. Why is it that the common masses always the victims in every society?
there lies the paradox... want rulers, then stay stuck in the big chess game and quit whining. It is either or... if people knew about the origins of power, they would stay or run away from it. Power can only be obtained by secrecy, leaders always lie therefore
Again, power is not evil! The misuse of it is evil! Also, not all powerful people misuse it for self gain. Some use it for the poor masses!
Power in itself, is not evil! Thanks.
