I know you know better comrade.
They're stuck in the endless loop of trying to fix something that's broken, while it's functioning perfectly at keeping the status quo.
When I read that, again ๐, I like to post this, from 1871
"It is well known that the Americans have been striving for 30 years to shake off this yoke, which has become intolerable, and that in spite of all they can do they continue to sink ever deeper in this swamp of corruption. It is precisely in America that we see best how there takes place this process of the state power making itself independent in relation to society, whose mere instrument it was originally intended to be. "
..."we find here two great gangs of political speculators, who alternately take possession of the state power and exploit it by the most corrupt means and for the most corrupt ends โ and the nation is powerless against these two great cartels of politicians, who are ostensibly its servants, but in reality exploit and plunder it. "
Marx is always a banger, great quote!
