When it comes to nations, I often think of what happens when there is dysfunction in a family and the family goes to therapy. The therapist's job is to stop the dominant family member from smothering or oppressing all the others. Each family member strives in therapy to become fully developed within his or her own personality and talents, and each must learn to respect the boundaries of all the other family members. This is not to the exclusion of a transcendent ethos like religion, national identity, community membership, etc,, but to prevent the family from having "one opinion, and it's Mom's", or "one way to do things, and it's Dad's", or the child as the center of all family life around whom everything must rotate. I see nations the same way — alliances and even some dependencies are natural and beneficial, but domineering by elites is dysfunctional, extortionate and oppressive, leading inexorably to tyranny.
