Unequal Relationship

“However democratic may be their feelings and their intentions, once a politician achieves the elevation of office they can only view society in the same ways a schoolmaster views his pupils, and between pupils and masters equality cannot exist. On one side there is the feeling of a superiority that is inevitably provoked by a position of superiority; on the other side, there is a sense of inferiority which follows from the superiority of the teacher.”
--Mikhail Bakunin
