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.
I like the way you're thinking
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.
That's not what's being alluded to here. You're talking about an excision, which then leads to healthy tissue replacing the excised tissue through natural processes.
Meanwhile, the genius proposal above was to remove positions of power and leave... Blank. Nothing. Nada. The void.
That kind of thinking is exactly what caused the genocide under Pol pot in Cambodia. For the working class utopia cleanse everything like treating cancer (they used the weeds and roots analogy, but is more or less the same). It killed more than 20% of the population
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
The American revelation happened first
fair point! France did it twice :)
