I wonder if this is one of the deep differences between the Left and Right in the political arena. For the Right, politics is a necessary evil because anarchy is not an option. For the Left, politics is the option for control and their rightful sphere for that end. One side wants minimal action and limits to keep a useful servant but dangerous master properly leashed. The other resents limits as their positions are obviously for everybody’s benefit. The latter finds no difficulty in using all power at hand to enforce their positions.
nice economy of expression.
