I would like to see this ' multitude' of examples.
Ancient Rome versus Ancient Britons?
Who won and who had the best system of government?
The people who went up against the maori in 'Germs, Guns and Steel- I forget the Island they were on - were a bunch f guys with stone age weapons against another bunch similarly armed. they were on their own turf. And yet the Maori, acting under the unified leadership of a designated commander and his leiutenants, had an overwhelming victory.
I have never come across a government leading to national ruin - only very bad governments, weak governments and a government going up against a much stronger military of economic power doing that.
Every team , be it a baseball, soccer or ladies hockey team has a captain - someone who calls the shots and decides team strategy. Nobody has ever found it easier to play and win by letting everyone do their own thing.
