A revolution will never happen and if it did we would just end up with some lunatic in charge. A power vacuum always attracts the people you do not want at the top. We’d just end up with some fascist system again.

Then remove the larger thing that creates the vacuum area. Don’t have positions of power.

Wow! You just solved everything! /S

No one likes cancer, therefore remove all cancer. What a genius take!

What about not liking work, surely we can just abolish it 🙄.

That’s actually how you treat cancer though. You remove all of it. And it hurts you while you do it but if you survive you get to keep going a lot longer.

Its like literally a fine analogy.

Could we like just get rid of the problem politicians though? Say we have like a French style ceremony with rails and tar and chopped cabbage

Democracy went away for 1500 years, then France tried it and reverted to Empire.

Now most people live in democracies.

How exactly did that happen? Educate us

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
