POWER ISN’T GOOD OR BAD, ITS WHETHER ITS DEFENSIVE OR OFFENSIVELY EMPLOYED.
I was very cognizant of power at a very young age. Probably because of a chaotic home life. So while I prefer peace, contemplation and beneficial competition, I don’t have the mind of an equalitarian, because I don’t like submission, begging or pleading. So I never looked for consensus as an objective. I don’t like extraction. So I never looked for dominance as an objective. So I looked for the power to defend myself as an objective.
If you use violence to institute property rights, taht violence is a virtue. If you use violence for the purpose of free riding, that’s an evil. If you use submission to buy time, that’s failure and justification of your failure.
