Genghis knew how to charm the ladies: <The Mongol emperor's habit of killing the men and inseminating the women when his army conquered a new territory, coupled with handing the Empire and other wealth to his sons, and their sons, would explain how the chromosome came to such prevalence today, said Sykes. >
I suppose that meme has been passed on and that's why we have the Maoistic megalomania still to deal with.
Maoris conducted neighbourly relations in much the same way, though they also found slavery a useful adjunct to genocide and cannibalism.
I prefer the Christian collectivist concept of us all being in it together and the gradually advancing ideas of private ownership of property combined with voluntary exchange of goods and services, with the state being the provider of security for those exchanges.
We are still much nearer the Genghis method of government than Libertarian paradise, but peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love are spreading with the continuing and accelerating adoption of those wonderfully anodye CDMA phragmented photons spreading cyberspace hither and yon.
