![Politics can only ever be corrupt](https://cdn.magzter.com/1641625061/1681740533/articles/ZKLib25m71682429571918/POLITICS-CAN-ONLY-EVER-BE-CORRUPT.jpg)
IT doesn't require great intellect or virtue to complain about the current political monstrosity imposing its will on the people.
But many who imagine themselves to be pro-freedom and anti-tyranny are focused only on the many varied symptoms of the problem, and are still oblivious to the common source of all of them.
As philosopher Henry David Thoreau said: "There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root." But the reality is worse than that, because most of those zealously and righteously condemning various 'branches' of authoritarian evil are, themselves, continuing to water and fertilise the root of that evil, without even realising it.
All of the warmongering, the Ponzi schemes, the wealth redistribution, the police state thuggery, and so on; all deserve to be exposed and criticised. The problem is, most of the people loudly lamenting the existence of such things continue to advocate the underlying problem that makes all of those symptoms exist - namely, the notion of 'government' and political 'authority'.
So many vocal critics of the abuses of the state continue to hope, and push for, an impossibility: a legitimate and moral government. They keep pushing the idea that elections, and constitutions, and petitions and campaigns, might some day result in government being a force for good. But it won't. And it can't. Ever.
