Yes,Disciple
You can hold HIM in that sort of way if you wish.I dont know if HIM being within the structure of a autocratic Monarchy immediately means straight up heirachial domination and subservience of the Ethiopian peoples.Automatic subservience because of his lineage, I dont really think that peoples trust of HIM in Ethiopia is just tradition based.He was educated to a level where he was able to lead a Nation.There are good kings and not so good ones.If people choose to feel as though they are not as good in their own personal self worth as a good leader, then that could be their own internal issue.If said leader does a good job then the Nation is taken care of in body and mind.I have had bosses who I felt the equal of and they were good leaders because of their knowledge, application, skill and ability to communicate and listen.As far as me being inherrantly equal,I felt this, but as far as being equal in knowledge and skill I was not,and had to learn off them.Maybe you are meaning something different when you say Heirachy.Not sure.
Did Malcolm fail?Garvey? and many more?
I would say they contributed.How do you see that Selassie failed.

He left Ethiopia to gain support internationally rather than risk being killed by the Fascist Italian army.He was of more use alive than the death toll taken on the royal Family.What do you think?
Thanks for taking the time,Bless...
More life.
