    DNC and GOP. They are united in that they both support capital, but are pit against each other to divide the working class. It’s an example of theatrics, and the disunity of the system to prevent real systemic change. Same with how separation of powers is used.

    Decentralization and centralization can both be used for good and for bad, and both have use-cases.

        Repeating myself:

        Decentralization and centralization can both be used for good and for bad, and both have use-cases.

        I also explained how separation of powers in the US is used as a fulcrum for corruption as well.

                  You gave one that isn’t and one that was so broad and nonspecific it was just a restatement of the idea, because you can’t separate concept from reality. I’m no longer interested in discussing politics with you; you have lost my respect.

                    I gave perfectly valid examples. When you fragment something, it can be pit against itself. This can be taken advantage of from the outside. At a smaller scale, let’s say you had a union, and had a council instead of a single leader. Said council can devolve into factionalism and splitting, something that has happened in numerous other organizations, and this can be influenced from the outside.
