You said, "some kind of ruling authority will always exist." This is not true. The belief in "authority" is a LEARNED belief, and it can also be UNLEARNED. I know tens of thousands of people who have unlearned it already. Most of what I do is trying to more to unlearn it, as fast as possible. When the people stop believing there can be such thing as a rightful ruler, it won't matter what the sadistic control freaks want. When there is no throne to sit on, we don't have to worry about who will sit on it.
