Probably your village is competing with neighbouring villages to some extent, but to the extent that it is not, that is because there is a much larger, centralized entity (the Romanian state) that has a monopoly on violence and which is responsible for keeping the peace in the land.
History shows that without a strong central power, towns and cities do compete with one another and will even go to war against one another.
- simion314 5y agoI know this, but I think that most of the time the cause of the war is an psychopathic individual/group that will sacrifice others lives for some bullshit reason. We are all easy to manipulate or do stupid things when we react hot-headed. My point is that the average person is not thinking and calculating on how to risk his children lives in some war because some piece of land somewhere is strategic , or some guys somewhere are persecuted so let's sacrifice ourselves for some vague reason, what I think always happens this ideas are implanted in people or most of the time you have no choice, you are forced into a conflict with no option to not participate.
