History is an endless cycle
Revolutionaries often become a new privileged class
The dragon-slaying youth eventually turns into an evil dragon seems to be humanity's fate
During the past few days of the New Year, I reviewed the remarks of this group of cabinet members from the Trump administration, and it is clear that the leadership style of this group belongs to the far-right. The Democratic Party has implemented big government policies over the years, while gradually moving towards the far-left in order to secure votes from minority groups. The far-left inevitably leads to the far-right; to restore order, we must address the root causes, and only then can long-term stability be achieved.
In the long run, both the far-left and the far-right are unsustainable, and the impact on society takes a long time to heal. The United States is fortunate to have a two-party balance mechanism, which still holds hope to bring this pendulum back to a moderate level, while many other countries are not so lucky.
This time, Trump's campaign slogan is "Eliminate the Deep State in Washington"; will the Democratic Party counter with a slogan like "Eliminate the Trump Deep State" in the next election? Perhaps.
Politics is an aphrodisiac for the body and a poison for the soul; humanity should not have a government. What we truly need is a public service department, not a power department. Power should only be in the hands of the citizens themselves. In any country where people are desperate to become officials, it essentially remains a form of slavery.
The most dangerous enemies are not those from the old world, but the "guardians" of the new world.
