Politics Tends to Corrupt, Be on Guard!
From Tom Ender @ Endervidualism, (an anarcho-libertarian cultural website he edits and hosts), comes his farewell address from two years ago when he bowed out as a LP apparatchik. It is reprinted here as a public service to remind us all that if you wanna see the "enemy" in electoral politics, to just look in the mirror.
"Although actual political power resides in government," says Tom, "pursuing ambition within a political party is usually a required step to achieving actual government power. Like pursuing power in government, pursuing influence within a party poses many of the same corrupting tendencies. Also like governmental politics, party politics is contentious. When contending with others in the party, consider that while they may disagree with you, they will remain good people. Avoid losing sight of this possibility."
