Extremely well put, I say.

For a non-coercive society "order" does come from a common acceptance of an organizing principle. Heretofore the 'organizing principle' of the U.S. has been a balancing of equality and liberty. To my mind, the current disorder is the unraveling of a society that is realizing the inadequacy of that 'principle’. I am convinced that to restore order to our society while retaining liberty and democracy we must recognize mutual respect as our ethic of justice, our organizing principle. For that, "Equality Is All We Need" (here in Medium).
