What I think I am driving at* is that if we regard the pluralistic G~ type democracy as an essential phase on the road from the monarchy-dictatorship M~ to the ideal, even Utopia, of integrated harmony at s~ tending towards C; then it is quite reasonable to regard the Individual[’]s cycles[s] from M~ through G~ (and hopefully g~) as the essential and only route to personal integration and harmony s~→C, as C[ircles] A[nalysis &] S[ynthesis] indicates.

(I am not suggesting for one moment that any Society known to us, even in the West, has actually achieved the I[nner] C[ircle] degree g~ in any significant sense: but I certainly believe it to be possible.)

If we in the West believe in the expression of Individuals within the democratic Nation State (for example), we should also allow for the expression of Archetypes or Degrees within the Individual.
