Don Corleone has a consiglieri, 2 captains, and Luca Brasi
Don Clericuzio has a consiglieri that is somewhat a capo also, a "general" who is also like Luca Brasi (pippi del lena)
Who has a more workable family?
Is it better that a consiglieri isn't part of the operational side and is just an adviser or should the consiglieri also be part of operations?
Is it wise to have a single powerful capo or should there be more than one capo to divide such power?
should there be a comparison at all? for both families are in different circumstances.
if there should be no comparison at all, then my question is, if you are going to put up your own family what is your family structure going to be like?
thanks!
you know, it really depends on what type of don you are...
corleone had his own reasons in choosing to have 2 differnet capos,
on the other hand, clericuzo, as you mentioned, was in a different circumstance. He can't even manage his own family that well.
If a single person is very gifted and able, then by all means, make him the councilor and part of the operations at the same time. However, the life of a councilor is very important to the family, and cannot be gambled by making him part of the operations.
If a capo can be trusted, and will not ever turn against you, then there is no question at all. but if a don is taking precautions, such as Vito, then he should act accordingly.
