Yeah. I can't go along with that.
I wonder how you and I might have an rational discussion of our difference?
Is Glen's quote above his belief ("He who has the gold _ought_ to rule")
or an proposition he is making about who ends up ruling in practice (and
thus what any individual must be prepared to do to cope with that)?
First clarify that. The former could be unpacked and the latter could
checked (e.g. from recent history). You have to at least entertain that
after several rounds of that you may find out you've hit an impasse in
your two preferences about how the world ought to be. Then the only
rational thing is negotiation. The consequences of irresponsibly not
acknowledging the other individual or group's political power.
