Sometimes the state itself is so irredeemably bad that you can't do surgery to remove the cancer so need to do open heart surgery with a sledgehammer..

Or a chainsaw
The only difference between a monarchy and our managed democracy is that you know who runs the monarchy and what they're responsible for (everything).
