"Yet, history has shown that if material force can defeat some ideologies it can no longer obliterate a civilization without destabilizing the whole planet"

- Abdelaziz Bouteflika

About this Quote

This quote by Abdelaziz Bouteflika speaks to the power of civilizations and the idea that they can not be ruined without causing international instability. He is recommending that while product force can be used to beat specific ideologies, it can not be utilized to completely obliterate a civilization without having a ripple effect on the entire planet. This is because civilizations are complicated systems that are deeply linked with the global economy, politics, and culture. For that reason, any effort to destroy a civilization would have far-reaching effects that would destabilize the whole world. Bouteflika's quote is a pointer of the interconnectedness of the world and the need to regard and secure the diversity of civilizations.
