Oppression, Resistance and Revolution
"George Orwell is an author of the 20th century whose fictional books mark a certain political slant," Magneto began as he marched into the room. "One quote of his states that all revolutions are failures bu they are not all the same failure. Orwell thought that revolutions fail because the end result is a change of tyrants and not a change of the regime. In one book, a bunch of sentient farm animals overthrow their human master but fail in the revolution as the change in power failed to create a world in which all of the animials were equal. Instead one of the animals took the humans place in power and little changed on the farm afterwards."
"Allegories with farm animals aside, his point is well taken. How can revolutionaries ensure that the world they wish to change is the one they fight for? It's the solution to find the right person? If the tale is true and absolute power corrupts absolutely, how can that person be trusted? How can one establish a social climate which will make it profitable for even the wrong person to do the right thing?"
"You assignment is to come up with two ways to ensure the cause you fight for won't be undone by power hungry leader. Begin."

Yes, he was a little less coherent than usual. He'd spent the morning playing with an idiot ball.

Another day, another destiny.
This never-ending road to Calvary;
These men who seem to know my crime
Will surely come a second time.
One day more!
