Discipline means success and anarchy means ruin

Discipline and anarchy appear to be two different epistemological constellations but actually they are tied by one simple thread of “logicism”—which we can call as the ‘degree of control’. ‘Control’ or ‘No-control’ determines the character of discipline or anarchy. The presence of absolute control is the situation of absolute discipline whereas the situation of minimal/non-existent control is the state of anarchy. To make things simpler, let’s adopt the systemic analysis to understand the concept of randomness (anarchy) and order (discipline).

A situation of no discipline (anarchy) is in the ideal manner the nullification of different energy vectors possessed by the sub-systems. If we consider anarchic societies, as in case of civil war ridden Iraq or Afghanistan or Sudan or Zimbabwe, we see the small fractions of power brokers concentrate powers in their own hand for their own selfish ends. In the process the national interest is neglected. The result is all ruinous.
