This is like the Mars and Venus thing... We prone social mixity as a "must", even though in most cases we avoid the problem. Whereas we feel that the Anglo-Saxon solution is to have a number of satellites (communities) sharing a exchange hub called "dowtown".
That doesn't mean that, through cultural exchanges (TV) the communities aren't seen as a distant utopia... Still, we have the back of the neck hairs that rises :-)
State, till now is just a blown up extent of the City/Village archetype. Europe is very interesting (while it doesn't yet really work on a political basis) because it might be a third way... If we manage to escape to the memories of the "Ruins of the Roman Empire" !
My point here is more to show why we don't always understand each others, on very basic facts, then to judge that one system is better then the other... :-) This everyday subconscious acquired culture, limit in a very pragmatic way the way we perceive new ideas !
