On assaulting corruption.
People who assault authority usually do not have a well thought out alternative in mind. The tearing down of authority leaves a power vacuum that is often filled by other corrupt opportunists.
The main problem is the fact that corruption of authority is usually a symptom of a flaw in the entire system and more often then not manifestation of natural human tendencies such as greed. By targeting and alleviating the symptom the assailant on authority usually accomplish nothing in the long run. Whatever new structure is put in place of the old authority will soon enough be corrupted.
