    Sure. I meant authority in its broadest sense. I was hoping for more of a social psychology dynamic. But, as is being pointed out, others have been down this path before. If the answers lie in economic theory, that is where I’ll start.

      I think you’re really just getting to the truth of what economics is. It’s how we as a society (i.e. socially) choose to distribute our resources. Because of this, we Marxists say that the “psychology” part of the dynamic you mention isn’t actually set in stone, because humans are affected by the society we live in, which directly ties into economics, ya know?

        Yes, it’s difficult sometimes to step outside of the false consciousness of capitalism and imagine a world without it. I used to think that theory was a luxury, and socialism is just common sense. I’ve read some, but starting to understand it is impossible to world build without it.
