Hi jeff 😉🤟🏴‍☠️ nice to meet you 🤝

You bring up an interesting and provocative point about the nature of government and its relationship with power structures. Governments, as tools of control, often end up serving the interests of the politically connected rather than the general populace. This dynamic is exacerbated by the centralization of power, which can lead to corruption and manipulation, particularly when enforcers are involved.

Your observation on the left is also thought-provoking. While many criticize the existing power structures, some might indeed still view government as a means to redistribute power in their favor, without addressing the underlying issue of domination itself. The ideal might be to move toward a system where people have more autonomy, with fewer centralized authorities able to impose their will whether for the benefit of the “rich” or any other group. Ultimately, the solution might lie in creating structures that incentivize freedom and personal responsibility, rather than perpetuating cycles of power imbalances, regardless of who holds them.
