First Topic: Definition of “the management of savagery” and an overview of its historical
precedents
We said above that if one contemplates the previous centuries, even until the middle of the
twentieth century, one finds that when the large states or empires fell – whether they were
Islamic or non-Islamic – and a state did not come into being which was equal in power or
comparable to the previous state in its ability to control the lands and regions of that state
which collapsed, the regions and sectors of this state became, according to human nature,
subservient to what is called “administrations of savagery.” Therefore, the management of
savagery is defined very succinctly as the management of savage chaos!!
As for a detailed definition, it differs according to the goals and nature of the individuals in
the administration. If we picture its initial form, we find that it consists of the management
of peoples’ needs with regard to the provision of food and medical treatment, preservation
of security and justice among the people who live in the regions of savagery, securing the
boarders by means of groups that deter anyone who tries to assault the regions of savagery,
as well as setting up defensive fortifications.
(The stage of) managing the people’s needs with regard to food and medical treatment may
advance to (the stage of) being responsible for offering services like education and so forth.
And the preservation of security and securing the borders may advance to working to
expand of the region of savagery.
