“权力带来腐化。绝对的权力带来绝对的腐化。”这是英国历史学家阿克顿爵士在十九世纪后半期发出的警告。野心、竞争、合作、统治,这些都是政治动物的武器。动物和人类一样,在人类世界出现希特勒、甘地或肯尼迪的政治手腕之前,动物已经发展出了各种各样的群居策略,并有意施加给 “Power brings corruption. Absolute power brings absolute corruption.” This was a warning issued by British historian Sir Acton in the second half of the nineteenth century. Ambition, competition, cooperation, and domination are all weapons of political animals. Animals, like humans, have developed a variety of gregarious strategies before the appearance of Hitler, Gandhi, or Kennedy’s political stance in the human world.
