It is power which corrupts. The consciousness that you possess power is *self the worst poison that corrodes the finest metal of man. The filth and contamination of politics everywhere sufficiently prove that. Moreover, even with the best intentions Socialists in legislative bodies or in government positions find themselves entirely powerless to accomplish anything of a socialistic nature, anything of benefit to the workers. For politics is not a means to better the conditions of labor. It never was and never can be.
Why is it that a man defies those in power, but when he gets power, he is changed by it? Does he not remember when he hated those in power? Does he not wish to expel the evil and hated actions of those in power? Why not in power, do what he can to allow his fellow brothers/and sisters to enjoy what he sought after before he gained that power.
