The concept of political authority is highlighted as fundamentally flawed, suggesting that the ultimate role of a politician should be to dismantle state control rather than perpetuate it. Politicians are viewed as having a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, where the complexity of governance leads to more dysfunction rather than solutions. This dysfunction is often masked by the notion of collective responsibility, yet individuals continue to support systems that allow for coercion and violence under state authority. The discussion emphasizes that true progress is hindered by this belief in authority, which results in complicity in the state’s actions.
