What is to prevent the ethnic group currently in power from diverting resources to itself on the argument that “it’s our turn to eat?” Why shouldn’t those currently in control of the state transform it into their patrimony, as in Venezuela, where, more than two years after former President Hugo Chávez’s death, his daughters still occupy the presidential residence?
当社会因为种族、宗教或社会地位而处于深度分裂状态时，这绝不是个容易的任务。毕竟，谁才是国家？是所有伊拉克人还是只是其中的什叶派？是所有的肯尼亚人还是只是其中的基库尤人？怎样防止当前掌权的种族群体带着“风水轮流转”的心态霸占资源？为何目前掌握在国家手中的资源不会成为他们的传家之物？比如，在委内瑞拉，前总统查韦斯逝世已经两年多，但其女仍然占据着总统官邸。
