I wonder if Plato foresaw the possibility of a government, one highly effective at destroying itself, stumbling into an inverted version of his ideal in an act of revolutionary reinvention. I'm not sure it was Plato's ideal but it was probably thought of as efficient in its attempt at specialization and putting the right people in appropriate hierarchical roles and having it work.
Republicans have achieved efficient destruction, but destruction is easy so let's not be too much in awe and understand that an evolved and expansive machine devoted to plunder can still be stopped by the right wrench in the right place at the right moment and before it's too late -- before they've decentralized like a franchise from hell and the terror organization they are.
Like Al Qaeda. They're destroying the government on behalf of the Confederacy and rich fuckers. We need some of that infrastructure and capacity intact when we get it back. They know this and are working hard to fuck it up irreparably. We had better get our act together and stop it. We need there to be something left to save. I think it's still possible but not by much.
