Every ruling class in history has insisted that its system was permanent, lawful, and inevitable. Every empire claimed civilization. Every monarchy claimed divine right. Every colonial regime claimed order. Every capitalist state claims democracy while wealth and power remain concentrated in the hands of a tiny ownership class. Yet history moves anyway. Systems collapse anyway. The masses intervene anyway.

The greatest lie ever told by ruling classes is not simply that their rule is good. It is that their rule is necessary.

The people of a nation do not need permission from oligarchs, billionaires, foreign powers, corporations, banks, or imperial institutions to change their political and economic system. Human beings created these systems. Human beings can dismantle them.
