The problem with the judiciary is that it never really had any teeth. It was just there to protect rich people and give the appearance of checks and balances. I mean, we keep impeaching these presidents, but I never see anything happen. And now Trump, supposedly a felon, is now the president. Also, I'm old enough to know that the quality of President continues to diminish, and I think that's a reflection of our society as a whole. People are getting dumber and they are not capable of discerning a good speaker who thinks rationally versus somebody who is just impulsive, reactionary and just tells them what they want to hear. Like I know if I'm completely left to my own devices I'm gonna make stupid mistakes. That's why I like laws and justified hierarchies. in more of a lateral and less hierarchical structure. I also emphasize the importance of clear communication because most of the world's problems and conflicts are based upon people who know very little. And that's why they're used as dildos for the state.. But at the same time as a libertarian socialist i think we, the people, need more liberty. And capitalism does not provide us with this. Also. What is free will, really? Relative to the hierarchy, the natural hierarchy, we are all bound by laws. Despite all my rage, I am still a rat in a cage. Sorry for my navel gazing. I was just thinking out loud.
