You’re supposed to be anti-politics. The reason is that whatever you think about the government, it’s the one part of the system of institutions that you can participate in and modify and do something about. By law and principle, you can’t do anything about investment firms or transnational corporations. Therefore, nobody better see that. You’ve got to be anti-politics. That’s another victory (for the propaganda system).
