The more justice there is in the distribution of a community's wealth, the more the population will tend toward a sustainable level.
What does this law of nature say to you?
It means the more unjust communities will grow in size out of control or destroy themselves.
And the more just community will become more powerful relatively (per capita) even if declining in absolute size.
What breaks this law is when just and unjust communities are deliberately mixed. The benefits of justice will be negated and all bets are off.
The more just community always wins when it decides it's time to fight for it.
It has nothing to do with government and everything to do with the will of the community and it's desire for justice.
If you've read this far without melting down, by justice in the Distribution of wealth I do not mean equality in the distribution of wealth. What I mean by justice is that those who created the wealth get to keep it and those who have created nothing do not. By right.
A flourishing welfare state is a red flag signalling injustice in the distribution. It maintains itself by taxing gifts which otherwise would mitigate the needy.
As a citizen of a community, if your leadership is breaking this golden rule, you should remove them immediately by all means. Even if your leader is trying hard in the right direction, if they're still allowing this golden rule to be broken, they are not enough and must be replaced with whomsoever is ready to act for justice in the community.
If you do not remove them immediately so be it. You will meet your fate.
