Még egy tanulságos idézet: The Iroquois government was highly decentralized and democratic, with decisions being made by consensus, with little power vested in the hands of any one person. When the United States used the Iroquois system as a model, those monarchical Europeans invented the executive branch (George Washington was almost named king, and to his credit did not like the idea), which has been the primary method by which the U.S. government has been undermined, with almost wholly unaccountable executive branch agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service, FBI, CIA, Department of Justice, Department of Defense and the like, agencies that rely in large measure on secrecy, deception and violence. The balance of power between the branches of the U.S. government is more theoretical than actual, with the same rich interests largely owning all of them, but the presidency is the easiest to manipulate, as there is only one person in that branch, although his retinue is immense.
Erre biztos azért volt szükség, mert az európai társadalommal ez volt kompatibilis. Na de azon elgondolkodtál-e már, hogy mi alakította olyanná a társadalmat, amilyen az volt?
