People Power

Politics essentially boils down to:

  1. People who want no changes to power & freedom. (i.e. they probably have it already. Or they fear things getting even worse.)
  2. People who want more power & freedom for themselves regardless of others. (they may or not have it themselves but probably do.)
  3. People who want more power & freedom for their group. (their group may or may not have it already.)
  4. People who want more power & freedom for all groups. (probably starting with groups who have less of it.)
Person's Desired change Current Level == High Current Level == Low
