    Hardly. They’re there to enforce the will of politicians, who are funded and influenced by the owning class (regardless of who voted for them once every four years).

        I wasn’t being literal, in fact I vote every year (not US), along with participating in political parties and union organizing.

          Neither was I. Just pointing out that “government” is far far more than the presidency. Random town councilmen and education board members aren’t funded by the owning class.
