Its a massive blind spot.

To be clear. I'm not so naive to think that simply getting rid of the state or shrinking it makes all our problems go away. It won't. But centralizing so much power in one place is like a magnet for evil. Evil is with us. We just need to stop lying to ourselves that because people vote for it that makes it legitimate. 

The problem of evil is not solved by removing the state. But is sure does break it down to size. And, I know we are no where near being ready as  a species for freedom/responsibility. Its gonna take a LOT more time.

With the whole Epstein fiasco how do these people think government is a vehicle they wanna get into?

This has always been my frustration with the good progressives, like Greenwald or Dore. How do they see and understand the corruption so similarly to us but still want the government in charge of vast swaths of society?
