Oppression is the opiate of the masses

People generally get off on it

Those at the bottom thrive under conditions of oppression

And those at the top revel in imposing such conditions

Human nature demands it

Society exactly as it now exists

Is the ultimate expression of sadomasochism in action

This isn't S&M as a mere game

There's no role playing involved

The roles are all real

With real masters and real servants

There's no dressing up required to be a player in this enactment

You don't have to wear your handkerchief in a certain pocket to signal your position as a sadist or masochist either

You simply assume the position

This is sadomasochism not as a fetish but in practical application

The sting of the riding crop is replaced by a more generalized sort of malaise

But when all is said and done

It is still an expression of people luxuriating in pain and submission

To say that people love to suffer is viewed as decadent cynicism by many

But a cursory glance at the world around us would definitely seem to support such a thesis

How telling it is that even in the context of a system created in absolute ignorance of man's true character

He remains true to his nature regardless
