„Every Political System Is The Same Prison“
„Every time someone says »we need a better government«, what I hear is »we need more comfortable handcuffs«.
When I was a kid I lined up all the political systems in my head trying to find the one that worked. I never found it. Not because I didn't look hard enough — because the question was wrong. You can't find a working political system for the same reason you can't find a working perpetual motion machine.
Every durable large-scale system built on ruling territory has run on the same four things. Not most of them. All four, every time: violence, resource extraction, hierarchy, and artificial scarcity. Run any -ism through these four and the pattern holds. The labels are arguments about which version of the same machine to run. The machine itself is never on the table.“
