- coldtea 11y agoIf you pass a law forbidding them to have formal legal presence as an organization, you can. Social cliques are OK, it's the formalizing that makes it worse. I'd abolish lobbies as official entities if it was up to me too.
- fweespeech 11y agoThey existed as social cliques before they became official entities and were just as problematic at that point. Political parties didn't really become a bipolar construct we have today until ~1791.
- coldtea 11y agoWell, I think they've reached a level of depravity and institutionalization since that that was unknown in 1791.
