The Rastafarian movement has inspired thousands of black youth, and some white and this extends throughout Jamaica, the Caribbean, Britain, France, and other countries in Western Europe and North America. Rastafari is effortlessly incorporated into other nations with similar histories of European oppression. Rastafari is not a homogenous movement, and it has no single administrative structure, nor any only leader.
Rastas avoid centralized and hierarchal structures because they don't want to replicate the formal structures of Babylon. Rastas do not approve of the ultra-individualistic beliefs that modern society promotes. The governments that accept and protect the Rastafari as a way of life are those that are champions of human rights, especially in places where marijuana has been legalized.
