The 'Tops' of all Governments, house 'political power'; but 'political power' is a 'fiction'.

The Top of Democratic Government, 'houses' power. Of course, the Top of 'every form' of Government also 'houses power'. That's the only place in the World with Power. Power is an 'attribute' of the 'State' and the State has been called a 'fiction'. Other than in a political organization, there is no such thing as 'power' in the World. An 'attribute' of the State, or Government, is as 'fictitious' as is the 'State' or 'Government'. The only 'real thing' that exists in the World is the 'human world' and the 'animal world'. Of course, there's also the 'plant' world, but its not necessary to go into that. Fortunately or unfortunately, the Human World fell into 'geographical patterns', called 'different Nations'. Each Nation, organized itself into a political and governmental entity. Power became essential, so that the Top of the organization could govern the Bottom of the organization. Nevertheless, the 'power' is also a 'fictitious thing'. If the State itself is a fiction, so is the power it wields. It cannot be said that, since the State or government is absolutely necessary in the 'condition of togetherness', we must make the 'power of the State into a 'real' power. Its still unreal, surreal, or whatever you like, but the fact is that power does not exist in the World. To say that 'Power' is politically essential, is not to say, that its 'real'. The only thing that exists in the World, is the 'human condition', and its 'integrity', 'uniqueness', and 'self-government'. If we cannot 'Govern Ourselves', how can we govern the Other? That's the aspect of every Government( the People) that must learn, how to live in Freedom and Equality. The Goal, or duty, of every Government, should be to allow the People, at the Bottom, to attain to the highest degree of Freedom and Equality. There is no other reason for having Government.
