The role of the state should be minimal; a decentralized system of local self-governance is better than a huge centralized bureaucratic machine. The world or a country doesn’t need a ruler because it’s not a mechanism that requires management but a complex system that should govern itself. In the same context, freedom is necessary – the freedom of nobility, not obscurantism, of course.
Therefore, all dictators end up badly, and large cumbersome systems have weak prospects. It could be leadership, decision points, or consolidation, but a system of higher complexity than a simple tool shouldn’t require a boss to move.
Someone might say, “What about the body, where there’s a boss managing it – the mind?” Not entirely correct… the mind is you, the unit of knowledge and perception, but you don’t control liver cells and others; they work on their own.
You are part of society.
