Over half the people you ask in a liberal arts college say that they want to be lawyers. They have envisioned & prepared for a life of functioning courts and advocating for the citizen. While it’s correct on paper to argue that advocacy disempowers the citizen, you’ve got swathes of students and people in the law community who at best can only envision reform of State power rather than its dissolution . It’s risky to poke the bear & simply decry them as disempowering the average citizen and make them more invigorating to defend the status quo.
I’m not out to besmirch people in law, and I encourage you to respond. It’s just that the State is inherent (as of now) to what you do. What would you do in a stateless society with workers & community councils as the prime source of power?
