A Patriarchy military State in modern day would run into the problem of blowing up the very resources it's fighting for.

What is Morality other than a survival mechanism?

Social Contract works great, but unforseen(or ignored) consequences eventually force us to slide down Maslow's Pyramid and resort to force.

Plus, I would argue, that due to humans being Pack Mammals, most will naturally leave the decision making(essentially participation) to delegation during times of plenty, only to be left with poor planning and grift when times change to bad.

I would say an oscillation between the two allows the DNA better chances of survival in different and changing environments.

Pure Utilitarianism could lead to living like an ant hill, or it could be the best route in survival situations.

Egalitarianism allows some to pursue activities that may allows new expressions or innovations. But it can also lead to decadence where no one undertakes the undesirable tasks and wastes resources on trivialities.
