Food is literally rule

Edit: Could you please chill it with the taking everything so bloody seriously? It's low-hanging fruit leftist agitprop from c/196. It doesn't aim to be coherent with the very letter of Marx or whatever leftist group/cult-leader you prefer.

Good luck convincing others of this take. People really truly believe in some sort of supernatural 'can never possibly resist' corruptive force when it comes to power. As if the idea of a human that has power and isn't corrupted is so much more impossible than all the other fantasy bullshit we've dreamed up. Hell they even had to make Superman an alien just to get people to accept the idea of a good powerful person.

Ultimately, the answer lies in taking a materialist approach to analysis, rather than an idealist stance. Cutting through the supernatural and relying on the material as our frame of reference helps us demystify subjects like "power corrupting."
