You can look at any system ever used and the point of failure is always someone tipping the scales intentionally to favor those near them.

A bandit kills a traveler, the former is to blame because he initiated the action, the latter is to blame for being unarmed.

Those "tipping the scales intentionally to favor those near them" succeed because others don't help those closer to them first.

And you can tell worthy endeavor from unworthy one better when it's someone close to you. Thus more often helping the good things and more rarely helping the bad things.

So no, it does. Those near to you are on the opposite side of the spectrum from states, ideas and -isms. They are also more like you, as opposed to things you don't know. Your life is just your own life. Unique and only one.
