Frans de Waal researched primates (chimps) for decades and he found that leaders were not the strongest but the most cooperative and facilitated collaboration which enables larger social structures.
Big bad, strong, leaders would sometimes fight their way to the top but it caused volatility in the group and ultimately was unstable - as always 2 or 3 smaller chimps would end up teaming up and murdering the big bad one because he would/could be selfish.
The survival of the fittest is true to some point, competition is good but life is not zero sum.
Decentralized responsibility is the only way to manage societies effectively.
Democracy shouldnt be plutocratic, I agree thats bad. Same rules and laws for everyone, especially the elite. But just saying its 'a scam' seems shortsighted and sensational.
Who watches the watchmen? Hierarchical responsibility with democratic transparency has been revolutionary, do you disagree?
