Document Summary
politics is about obedience, and nowhere else is obedience more of a problem then in c. m. r. Evil , question is why do they obey us when they have these weapons. democracies still live in a world of states. The world is made up of states, there is no order controlling the world, no one poses this order or there are states trying to attain this order; but all states field armies. If you field an army, question becomes what kind of army do you field, feudal armies made up & led by the nobility, story of modern state is mass armies of elite citizen armies. If you have a mass army; which can make you a powerful country, question becomes: Professional armies are soldiers that volunteer and that are paid, or a draft armies are soldiers that were conscripted and are forced by law to join the forces. 90% of class believes democracies need armies.
