Lawyers are paid to defend their clients. Every politician is a lawyer by trade. What do they do? Defend the sectional interests of their sponsors. That's what we see in the West: general interests are subordinated to the corporatist/sectional interests. This is the expected result, anyway; it is just a matter of how long does it take to reach the state of "sectional interests taking over general interests".
- Ericson2314 6y agoI'm sorry but this just reads as vague pessimism to me > Lawyers are paid to defend their clients. Every politician is a lawyer by trade. No, that would be true if "people paid to defend their clients are Lawyers". Lawyers offer a specific service to client, distinct from bodyguards and others who provide defense. Politicians do want to get reelected, but there are many ways for that to be. Nothing about politics is inherently sublimely, or sleazy things like ALEC inevitable. It rather the due to very specific problems in the US such as terrible voting systems. > This is the expected result, anyway To whom?
