The ultimate explanatory ground of separate/alienated political decision-making across history—in other words, its transhistorically recurrent and reimposed causal foundation—is the expropria tion of surplus-labor in class society.

That must be the structurally entrenched, at all cost enforced, and in every possible way secured, precondition for the ongoing reproduction of all such society.

The same determination also happens to be the principal reason why at times of major periodic crises and even the “overthrow” of any one of the forms of such society, only the “change in personnel” prevails.
