Just if the Hulk comics were released sooner.

the Mass times the Acceleration will equal the^2^ Force.

Problem is, you are not my colleague or my boss or similar people. You are someone I might not even end up interacting IRL.

Most people will just ignore the people slowly amassing power because they tend to be discreet enough to not raise too many alarms and the same thing might look like just incompetence unless one is looking closely enough.
Then there will be people who just find it easier to de-escalate situations, no matter what the outcome, that end up helping the malicious ones get out unscathed. Cover-ups follow.

And the power-hungry will mostly be found in places of power. Whether you interact with them directly, depends upon where you end up working.

The most hard working and benevolent people I have seen, are coincidentally also those who tell you to care about yourself.
They won't preach teamwork or communality, but that comes naturally to them. They won't ask you to help others, but will help with what they are good at and not treat it as a favour. They don't bid you to be helpful, but enable you to get to a place where you can be helpful. Also, they won't act like they overtly care about you.

It was very hard to get them to bend the knee.
They were terrible at giving US free stuff.

I suppose that's what they meant by "liberation".

It's what the init system goes to, to do the real work.

For example, a Copper mine owner neither physically mines the copper, and (living thousands of miles away) likely delegates day-to-day operations to a hired manager.

And while they try validating their position with, "I take all the risks", they would also, transfer all the damage to the workers at the drop of a hat, then lobby the Government to undo their losses at the cost of everyone else giving power to the Government.

you find yourself in the latter, well then you’re probably a bootlicker

Considering how I have seen people claiming to be from the former camp expecting bootlickers, I'd say that assumption doesn't work out well in real life.

Those who try preaching "We are stronger together" and "according to their ability" are most of the times the same who would damn everyone when they find the perfect time, while also using the same words to make others give them a hierarchical position.
And in the end, you still have the players get power while the workers get exploited and their voices shut down.

Right.
My point was simply that Mount Doom not necessarily the only place that can provide what is required.
There might be others that are jus not yet discovered.

Like, socialism is, and should be a constant revolutionary project, not just a static position.

If you try to put it that way, that then again opens it for others to add/remove as they feel like.
While I understand that socialism is not some hard program that can exactly apply to every scenario, there has to be some tenets of it that are defended well, to prevent a malicious actor from uprooting its base.

My personal solution is simply that I don't subscribe to any *-ism and don't group myself with anything even if it tends to provide similar solutions in the current scenario, simply because in some other one, the group's solution might end up greatly differing from what I would consider acceptable.

no.
I can use some GIMP, if I required that.

And China will only call it "resolvable" as long as the resolution ends up with them getting more area.
