I don't see it as any coincidence that at the height of their health, virility and strength, people tend to be more socialist, or that those outside of that paradigm tend to be more conservative. Think of the helpless toddler whose self-awareness is just budding -> "Mine! Mine! Mine! & No!” or the common refrain of the old -> "I don't like the look of them teenagers over there...there oughta be a law!” Fear, sparked by a perception of a deficient self, invokes its inevitable hostile re-action.
