“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.” -Lenin

That is an interesting perspective, that the "Urstaat", the Platonic Ideal of an organized society, is part of human nature. Primitive societies have divisions of labor, almost exclusively based on the differences between men and women, and they all have male leadership. Women cannot survive harsh nature conditions without men, they do not have the strength, endurance, or disposition. We are social and have fairness and justice built into our conscience, and building relationships to solidify those things is useful.

The organizers of the state are almost always those who gather more than their neighbors- initially by virtue of excellence- but then are replaced by those who hoard through lying, cheating, stealing, intimidating, and murdering, followed by the corrupt hoarders setting up a system to protect themselves from retribution. Benevolent kings last as long as their own lifespans and are usually replaced by covetous murderous descendants within a few generations, particularly if rulership is passed down by birthright and not selected because of strength and leadership.
