RE: What Is The Difference Between A Leader And A Master?

in #philosophy7 years ago

I was agreeing with you until the end of the article. I guess because the term Master has multiple meanings. If you meant it in terms of a Master/Servant relationship then I could agree with you. The reason is because while slaves are bound by there master and legally forbidden to leave, servants are not. Servants generally never had means to leave, but they were not forbidden by law to do so. The same is true of us in modern day. I don't have the means to quit working, and there by quit supporting the government through my taxes, but it is not illegal for me to do so. So, while I absolutely agree politicians are not leaders, and we don't have all the freedoms many think we have, we are not slaves.

Sort:  

Good points, perhaps it is more of a nuanced issue than I suggest, which needs some additional semantics like the word "servant"

Although I would still maintain that the type of system we live under is some type of slavery, even if it isnt as harsh as slavery that we have seen in the past
