- rayiner 14y agoI suppose it depends on how you define "lack of order." Nature abhors a vacuum. When there is no government imposed order the "lack of order" is the ascendency of entities like the Taliban, Somalian warlords, etc. To me this a "lack of order."
- jlgreco 14y agoHow do you define "nongovernmental"? I think an argument could be made that each of those are/where governments, although perhaps a little alien seeming to us.
