If You Were King

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Cooperation seldom works, therefore brute force is employed

Mao said "power comes from the barrel of a gun". This view is called 'a conflict theory' and I think far better reflects reality than the naive romanticism of 'consensus theory'.

Conflict theories are perspectives in social science that emphasize the social, political, or material inequality of a social group, that critique the broad socio-political system, or that otherwise detract from structural functionalism and ideological conservativism. Conflict theories draw attention to power differentials, such as class conflict, and generally contrast historically dominant ideologies. It is therefore a macro level analysis of society. Karl Marx is the father of the social conflict theory, which is a component of the 4 paradigms of sociology.[citation needed]

Do I want to be king? Of course not, I just want obscene wealth,so I can have power without glory or responsibility.
