Safest for whom? I assume that, finding yourself in a fight, and knocked
about the jaw a few times, that you'd choose not to simply grab your
adversary by the head and crack his skull onto a fence pole or something
to immediately kill him?

Fast, and surely safer for you than messing about. But then we have..

So you would just crack the dude's head on the fence pole then? That's
what "winners" do?

I suppose it depends on what you're trying to win. This certainly the way
the players look at thingson a battlefield, and in finance. It probably,
even, scales down to the board game Monopoly.

But there are other games. And your contention about it NOT being a game,
just shows you're not acquainted with games. Doesn't mean people aren't
playing for keeps. It might be a zero-sum game.

Still just a game. And there are still better ones.

And in any event, with an attitude like that I certainly wouldn't want to
join an 'organization' that you're at the helm of.

How you 'win' is as important as 'what' you win. This is not some
namby-pamby point of moralism on my part. It is a matter of strategy for
attaining the goal. Because an organization of people that worked, and
operated, according to the principles of "winning" that you're espousing
-- if successful, would simply become the new gang in town themselves.

Coordination is one thing. There is no 'organization' needed to coordinate
a flash mob. Send out the email or txt message alerts. People show up, or
don't.

Creating organizations, as implied in the quote in your pic, is something
altogether different. _An_ organization, to me, implies not just some
coordination / communication amongst freely associating individuals, but a
system of control, which dictates from leaders to subordinates. Little
fish do things they don't want to do in order to climb the ladder and get
to boss around little fish. There is a flow of information, and orders,
from top to bottom. *THIS* is _an_ organization.

There is no way to go rid of "criminal gangs" by creating more criminal
gangs. Which, is all such organizations can, or will become. All
organizations, companies, governments and so on, once they get large
enough, become effectively organized crime.

Power corrupts. Create powerful organizations? You're just creating
effective mechanisms for corruption.
