| The story. Trying to cool off on a very hot and humid day a young black man drowns in an abnormally swift flowing river in Kenya.
Who's fault is it?
The Libertarian It was his own fault. He must have known he wasn't a good swimmer. He should have either taken swimming lessons or he never should have gotten in the water in the first place.
The Anarchist It wasn't anyone's fault. He simply didn't have the ability to swim well enough and drowned. That's it.
The Socialist It was the systems fault. He didn't have enough money to pay for swimming lessens nor were there signs warning people of the swift current. So when he got caught up in it, it just took him away.
The Fascist It was the fault of his inferior cultural background. If he was raised in a culture more like ours perhaps it wouldn't have happened to him.
Now how would an Integralist answer this question? | |

| LOL... That sounds like the punch line to a joke. Here's an Integral Political description by Wilber. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQRUu_4W2j8&mode=related&search= | |
