Why organize a labor union to keep the tyrants from paying you poverty wages when you could just submit the name of the tyrant to the assassination market and let somebody take care of it?
The more unpopular you are as a human being, the shorter your expected lifespan, because the reward for you not existing would increase proportionally to how much of an asshole you were.
The next person knowing that the workers are why the last person was deposed would be a hell of a lot less likely to pay poverty wages and become unpopular since they have an incentive to live.
Personally, I've never followed or paid very much attention to politics as I see it as a pointless endeavor. The way our political systems are set up these days, they will get what they want and fuck what the people think.
I think there are a group of people that go into politics who are just pure evil and do so in order to have control over other people. I think there are some people who go into politics actually thinking they can change the system and have absolutely no idea that they don't matter in the grand scheme of things.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts, absolutely.
