We have to get beyond the limited perspective that the opposite of our hierarchal government with a "supreme" leader is anarchy. It's not that black and white.

I have always felt that this type of organization in western society, whether in government, industry or society, stems from the organization of the early church. We are so indoctrinated that it is the way things "are", many of us cannot contemplate any other arrangement.

Under the current system, there is too much corruption which I believe comes from a structure that encourages the lust for power. I think a system that looks more like a flat org. chart w/ checks and balances built in and limitations on terms of service would eliminate many of the problems we have under the current system. We aren't ready for it yet, but eventually I think something like it will evolve upon the collapse of our current paradigm.
