Yes. It is a successful cope

Right is anarchy, left is total government.. Most of the world is extreme left. Only the original Constitution we moderate right.

They were both and probably not sustainable. After world war 1, Germany was suppressed and constantly drained of money/goods by the winners of the war. People were starving. The communists who slaughtered millions of people in Russia and Ukraine were quickly gaining momentum. Many Germans were not forced into collectivism by the government but joined to fight their way out of the situation successfully. Hierarchies were accepted and success mattered in this goal oriented collective society. When you look at communist societies, people are depressed. Perceived effort matters. Success is often punished by peers. Hierarchies exist unofficially while the citizens have to say that everything is flat. Peoples lives get worse and worse over time. The more typical real world left stuff.
