But what I find most interesting about this reply/rant, is that it - like most of left, always seems to envision a world without power. And you can't confront entrenched power, without seizing power, and using it to transform society.
The left recognizes, correctly, that the people in power - the leaders - are not angels. So the left wants them gone - wants there to be nobody in power.
The problem is that the people who are not in power also are not angels. Left to themselves, a fair number of them will find ways to harm (economically or even physically) people around them. They need someone with power to restrain them.
But then you're back to having people in power, and they're not angels...
The way I see it, left doesn't want people to have power. So it limits politician's power. And then, the financial/corporate interest seize all powers, and use it as they will.
But any legal fiction can be simply signed-away into non-existence. There is no technical reason this can't happen. In theory.
The problem is, there is no political will to ever actually do it, even when it's necessary. Our entire facade of legality rests on political willpower.
This isn't to say that such a world is easy to imagine, or easy to bring about.
Fuck that.
