the process of politics

1. First, start with a delusional and utterly simplistic belief about how the world works.

2. Then, obtain political power so you can force the world to behave according to your theories.

3. Fulfill step 2 by using controls and regulations that force people to behave as if they were living in the world of your delusions, and not the world that actually exists.

4. When the world stubbornly refuses to behave the way your theories say it should, do not take this as proof that your theories are wrong; instead, assume it proves that you just need more power.

5. Eventually, the failure of your model becomes so severe that it is no longer sustainable. At this point, there is nothing left to do but to run around killing people.
