The primary subject of political science is the struggle for political and economic power. Political words cannot be taken at face value. The only permanent war is between the “elites” and the masses. The masses are almost always inert, i.e. sheeple. History and political science is the study of the elites and their relationships with the masses. Politics is based on Force and Fraud. The primary goal of every elite is to maintain its own power and privilege. Two opposing tendencies apply to all elites: to maintain its own power and privilege, and to let in those from below. The second one always wins, which is why no social structure is permanent. A “revolution” is when the elites are replaced by another, oftentimes when those from below force their way in.. A very small minority always rule the majority. The only way to stop the elites from absorbing everything is through opposition, which is why liberty is necessary and imperative. A very small opposition can have a great impact. There is no such thing as “the State” or “government,” only several groups of elites who have gained political power. The elites always say they speak for the masses when in reality they only speak for their selves. The elites can manipulate the masses through propaganda. Sometimes the interests of the elites and the masses coincide. The masses do not, in fact cannot, think. Since the masses cannot think, they are maintained by “myths” which generally espouse their own greatness and the non-humanity of their “enemies.” Wars are started based on the beliefs of the elites. Soldiers are propagandized into believing they are fighting and dying for the defense of their country when it reality it is for the beliefs of the elite, which results in the maintenance of the power and privilege of the elites. War is therefore a racket, as is “government” in general. Only power can control power.

Don't fergit Mao, now. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
Politics is based on Force and Fraud.
"If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption, indifferent and incapable of a wholesome care over so wide a spread of surface. This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reform and revolution. If I know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable." - Thomas Jefferson
