Wedrifid, I was disappointed that Eliezer so succinctly identified the problem then mostly left it hanging.
Now, your comment fundamentally missed the point I was making, furthermore you seem to be acting out a common politician's caricature, I don't see you making an actual argument here & tbh I'm slightly surprised as you usually do much better than that.
Either way. in the interest of preserving the sanity waterline I'll stop here.
"Politics" is not the problem Eliezer identified and nor is "the thing that is the alternative to raiding and pillaging". (Never mind that the 'politics' that corrupts thinking applies just as much---or more---to the tribes who go around raiding and pillaging. It's about the internal politics within the tribe and the external conflicts come in to it as just more things the individuals can argue about in order to achieve personal gain, preferably at the expense of rivals.)
