A better society? What outcome do you desire? If you wish there to be peace, declare a dictatorship and rule with an iron will, so that none dare transgress the State or their own neighbours. If you wish for individual liberty, disband the dictatorship and allow everyone to do what they will, to themselves and to each other. If you wish for greater meaning in life, disband the State and break it down into simpler groups where life is poor but tribal identity is palpable and sweet. Which will you choose? Or do you think there is no incompatibility between the modes, and therefore no paradox? Do you really think there is a better society? Better for whom?
