I think it’d be better if we disregarded highly authoritarian leaders in general and embraced socialism. Back in the day,
kings and emperors fought their battles, but it didn’t make their feudalism any less… feudal.
Humans cooperated and formed large confederations long before capitalism and liberalism were ideas.
It’s true that unequal and selfish organisations have often consolidated power and squashed other organisations but we’ve also seen humanity going the opposite way many times before.
To shrug our shoulders and say humans are inherently greedy so socialism can’t work is a cop out. We’ve dismantled unequal power structures many times before and we can do it again
It’s because the leaders aren’t the ones fighting the battles or being targeted. They’re playing chess somewhere far from the violence.
We should just solve conflicts by throwing the presidents or monarchs of the opposing countries in an arena to fight to death.
