All things being equal, and we don't take Kilpatrick's argument favoring authoritarianism over totalitarianism, then, we can only judge Iran and KSA in terms of self-interest. In which case, KSA is clearly the "better."
Too bad you know shit about political science, as you can't define any of these terms, and were dumb enough to rank Iran as better than KSA.

Leave off government as it gives nothing that it hadnt taken first.
Companies are just a collection of individuals trading with one another (generally time for money).
The society is the shared interest (safety typically).
This is the central disagreement here.

I really don't get your point.
Everything you described is part of interdependent society.

It's OK to Be White
The GOP promises us individualism but instead gives us Fascism, the same way they promise us small government but expand the size of government.
This should help explain things.

Hello Celticguy,
Sounds to me like we are using very different definitions for 'society.'
Social interactions are individuals having regular contact with one another for mutual benefit.
Commerce is an example of a social interaction.
People get most of their needs met from other people in society.
That is why it is called social interdependence.
And a very good reason why we need to think of the collective in our actions.

Commerce is not a social interaction. Its commerce.
Not all social interactions are mutually beneficial (traffic ticket).
You seek to conflate the two. I know better.

Hello Celticguy,
Oh, I get it. You think it's not a social interaction unless it's something like a party?
"a part of the community that sets itself apart as a leisure class and that regards itself as the arbiter of fashion and manners"
Here's the definition of 'Society' I was thinking of when I penned the OP:
"an enduring and cooperating social group whose members have developed organized patterns of relationships through interaction with one another"
"an interdependent system of organisms or biological units"
You are using a selective definition for 'society' and I am using a broader definition, that's all.
And what does it matter?
I recognize that humans are socially interdependent, have their needs met by being part of the collective of humans; you have this perverse idea that we are all loners and only interact when it suits us, but that is not any form of meeting anyone's needs.

The left frequently redefines language to support notions that are otherwise insupportable.
"Racist" is a good example.

Hello Celticguy,
I am using a straight up definition of 'Society,' right out of the dictionary. And besides, it is more often the right which has to rewrite the narrative, rewrite history, to fit their propaganda.

"the body of human beings generally, associated or viewed as members of a community: the evolution of human society."
That's it, right there. The world is a large community of humans. Generally, all the humans on Earth are part of human society.
