Lol Soulgasm, butsurely by retainign power he became a great leader; when there is no other leader, any leader is great. And I'm not going to make any contemporary references. 😀 I think people are bad by nature; common politics test for the pessimist/optimist argument
Imagine the state of nature. it is a pre-sociatal state; there are no groups of people, no clubs, no families, just individuals. Individuals who all have to find some means of surviving. Now how do you imagine this state to be? is it a survival of the fittest test, where the smaller and weaker are pushed aside/ killed in favour of the larger more well equipped for living. or is it harmonious and people live in easy co existence; not encroaching on each other's space whilst everyone retains enough to live, just enough and not more than they need.
I know which one I think it is....
