All political systems eventually evolve to protecting self, by the system, for the system, against other systems, and we see plenty of evidence of such.
By the people for the people? Less and less as time goes by and system entrenched.
OTOH, revolutions are typically by the people for the people, invariably against other people, for better or worse, but generally for change, arguably. Revolution happened in China. Cannot say happened in India. I watch, in a layer 1 perusal fashion, to get hints on what best works for civilisation-progress. Jury remains out.
IOW, are revolutions a feature or a bug?
Comparative Covid-responses, through the political lens, in time should be telling. I am not talking about what works and does not work, as responses to Covid, through the science lens, and result in what consequences through the economic lens - iow, am not looking at the result by competence or otherwise. I am looking at what the whichever government truly cares about and doesn’t, as expressed by and in leadership, in government deliberations, for the people, the greater good, and the only good that matters. |
