There is a great tribal mentality still left in modern human beings. We just want to have a tribe and to have a head or leader ,almost instinctively.We need
to have a tribe in the name of country, in the name of state, in the name of
region and religion or caste or class or language maybe.Having a leader or a
head is so much an integral part of our lives whether in our family or at
school, at office or in society. Leaders and heads make us feel more tribal and more secure while
they enslave us and make us feel feeble at the same time. This is the reason why we can’t live without
a Queen in England and a President in India even after electing a horde of
other decision makers through ballots. It just feels a bit more secure to the tribal nations in perennial turmoil to have a stable head of state.
Democracy is just your 2nd best bet ,though I have never been
at ease with the concept . I don’t have a voter id card, never felt
the need to get it except as an address proof, in this age of KYC. I Detest
dictatorships specially in business organizations .There is indeed no
difference in your life if the dictator is not in the parliament but inside
your office or at your home . Indeed its worse as the dictator gets closer to
your life.
So when I try to see into myself I have a severe
distaste for meritocracy, theocracy , dictatorships and of course democracy .
Cause is quite simple. All these systems are nothing but a system or a
philosophy of having leaders chosen or imposed. I am strictly against the idea of having
leaders, elected or otherwise. I stand against the idea of having masters elected or nominated ,by the force of bullet or by the force of ballot .It doesn’t
matter much either ways .
The anarchists failed to put it in the right perspective.
There need be no disorder and it shall be a simply stable world if we just put
out this idea that there is some need to have some ruler and to have some leaders
and to have some masters and to have some bosses.I believe in the theory of
evolution and I am sure a day will come when humans will evolve into a better
species where they will not accept the leadership of fellow humans and treat
each other as equals and will yet have a flawless collective society like
emperor penguins without chaos and anarchy. I just propose that we live
like people in two huts separated by a distance of two hills , taking care of
themselves .We just smile when we meet each other and be friends or be
un-bothered .
PS :We dont need good leaders . We need no leaders.

Here you have a brother who doesn't have/need a Voter ID. There's nothing like a good leader. Bad leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn bad.
Lot of us are sailing in the same boat. Even if we vote we are still out of decision making process.
