Tell that to the Helots. (I won't say the women because the whole structure was bad that way). Or to the people who died in regular confrontations between the city states. Yes, there are far worse systems - but I think we've moved past their being good systems.
(The point about Helots is that federations in such a pattern allow some groups to get away with being fairly seriously uncivilised).
Very beneficial for the IT sector. Produces high value, with low resource usage.
IT also messes up land valuations because with the Internet (or even, to a lesser extent, telephones), you don't need to be near someone for fairly close communications to take place. I spy high-rise towerblocks in the middle of almost nowhere as the consequence.
I don't know whether you could "pretend" to engage in formal operations in moral reasoning. Either you take into account the rights and feelings of another person or you don't.
And bullies are superb at taking into account the feelings of others...
