Bukeles sentiment has been noted before. Power has a tendency of finding somewhere to rest its head. And it typically isn’t in a completely decentralized fashion. In fact the Decentralized Societies were historically regularly swallowed by the non-decentralized societies. Unless they managed rare moments of complete unity with each other. Such as the Greek States thrashing the Persians
That is why to this day. Why the U.S regularly is still labeled an experiment. Conversations and Debates are regularly had on whether it’s a failed experiment. Especially given the past century of Oligarchic tendencies and Corporate Corruption. Whether it lives or dies though is ultimately up to the will of God.
It's a failed experiment, because it does not adequately account for human sinfulness.
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” - John Adams
Secularism just kinda assumes that people will vote for what is good and leave each other alone because RELIGION IS THE PROBLEM. Which is the exact opposite, Jesus Christ is the protective hedge and by excluding Him from the public space and uncrowing Him as the King and Sovereign ruler we have given space for wicca, islam, sataism, feminism, communism, and all sorts of unholy horrors. The modern world is in a much worse state than when it was under Roman paganism. Say what you want about the Romans, they did not industrialize child sacrifice or mandate child mutilations or allow women to rule or mass traffick children for sex
Luke 11:24-26. “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
