The analogy is that there are basically 2 concepts of government that have evolved in the human species, the greek and the persian and the question is: are we transforming what was a greek inspired government based on individualism and freedom into a persian system that requires obedience to the state and an submission of the concept of individual freedom for the betterment of the state?
“They are the arguments that kings have made for enslaving the people in all ages of the world. You will find that all the arguments in favor of king-craft were of this class; they always bestrode the necks of the people, not that they wanted to do it, but because the people were better off for being ridden. That is their argument, and this argument of the Judge is the same old serpent that says you work and I eat, you toil and I will enjoy the fruits of it. Turn in whatever way you will, whether it come from the mouth of a King, an excuse for enslaving the people of this country, or from the mouth of men of one race as a reason for enslaving the men of another race, it is all the same old serpent, and I hold if that course of argumentation that is made for the purpose of convincing the public mind that we should not care about this, should be granted, it does not stop with the negro. I should like to know if, taking this old Declaration of Independence, which declares that all men are equal upon principle, and making exceptions to it, where will it stop? If one man says it does not mean a negro, why not another say it does not mean some other man? If that declaration is not the truth, let us get the Statute book, in which we find it, and tear it out! Who is so bold as to do it? If it is not true let us tear it out! [Cries of “No, No.”] Let us stick to it, then; let us stand firmly by it, then.”- Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Douglas Debates.
The "Persian" group are are tribal animals and desperately desire the security and group responsibility of the herd. It could be a genetic component or simply a matter of gender- or both. However, societies dominated by female power and decision making tend this way - especially if those societies are Democratic in nature. They want to be nurtured and cared for , and they have NO PROBLEM what-so-ever using force to obtain that goal. Nearly all tribal societies ( including the "noble Savage" American Indian) took and kept slaves from other tribes.
The "Greek" group is masculine in nature. They value risk and individualism. This, if left unchecked, results is a lot of wars, adventurism and women being treated as property
This isn't to say individual women or men can't value one system or the other, only that as groups and in aggregate - Women value security over freedom and will vote accordingly. Men value risk-taking and personal initiative - control over one's own destiny. It becomes a Barbarian culture of conquest and violence.
IN a functioning civilization, Men, are ( and must be) socialized (by women) to help and protect women will tend go along with the female desire for security-- and as a result there is a built in bias toward the feminine in democratic systems in which women have voting rights. . ( I don't think its any accident that the species on the planet that have "hive minds" like bees and ants have a Queen as central to the colony and not a male. )
In any democratic system in which women participate the feminine will dominate and individualism and freedom will falter and die. The war on men and masculinity is no accident - it is implicit in the battle between the two forms of government. Female Hypergamy is nothing but the desire to be cared for - and why woman typically only "marry up" If they marry down they get "responsibility" as the primary breadwinner and not "choices" - to work full time, part time or be a full time wife and mother. They do not, as a group, want the personal responsibility for being the primary breadwinner and provider. They want another entity to do that - be it a husband, a church, a community, a government or a slave.
Nor is it any accident that the large ( and stupid) changes that occurred in our govt at the beginning of the last century were lead by and championed by Women. Prohibition, the Formation of the Fed, the suffragettes , income tax, and the the popular election of senators all happened during a time when women were dominant forces in public discourse.
At its most fundamental level this battle is the one the Chinese have observed between Yin and Yang. When these two forces get out of balance, bad things occur. Women must and should be dominant in certain area of our lives, and men should be dominant in others ( and no I would not support strict boundaries or prohibitions on those areas - but I think this division will occur naturally if men and women are simply allowed to follow their own inclinations vs being manipulated every day of their lives into believing in fairy tales by propaganda and other attempts at social engineering by evil people trying to manipulate the two sides for their own personal gain
