Public servants are there to support the community

In relation to our article Will public servants become agents of the party rather than the state?

Jack’s articles are informative, but In the end, I would hope that public servants are there to support the community, or public or society rather than the state. Following “the state” just allows people to say “ I was just following orders”, don’t you think?

I appreciate, also, that if you accept that point, it gets complicated because different people have different ideas of what makes up a community, and what sustains it.
