here are some of my latest depressing thoughts on political science. particularly relating to the current folks in power.
Realists look at the world with less emphasis on ethics and more on balance of power and the idea that human nature is fundamentally bad and must not be trusted. This is because they believe people will always pursue their own self-interest. Realists wish to attain power, domestic or international. There is also the Darwinian influenced idea that strong states will take over those that are incapable of supporting or defending themselves and that in essence might is right.
