What defeated the Soviet empire? Nothing. It collapsed by itself. It was fragile.
In a democratic state the collapse is constant. Every decisions is questioned and often severely critizised. There are frequent changes of power. The whole construct is fragile, but all know that, so new - fragile - structures are erected immediately.
The fragility is a safety measure. If there is no fragility but for example military or economical control, the effects for humans can be very difficult.
The stability - whenever there is stability - is on mind level. Even mountains have "minds" that give stability. This mountain "mind" is technically seen the electromagnetic field that supports the atoms and the molecules in the mountain.
In the human world, the stability is given by human minds. The stabilising factors are agreement and trust.
In the inner world of the mind the difference between compassion and self centeredness is very important. Compassion leads to the good, and self centeredness to the problems. But it seems to be the other way around.
