By voting for parties that agree with you. The ANC is communist, they see state-owned enterprises as welfare distributors, that's why Eskom can have 420b+ debt and still exist, and it's why they'll send out 10 dudes on minimum wage to change a light bulb, badly. Obvious waste for the sake of distributing "wealth", but all communist governments go the same route.

You hang around the bitcoin community long enough, black-pilling is inevitable. Governments don't exist for the sole purpose of debasing currencies - surprise! Corrupt governments that can't manage their money and who run on paper-based systems with no checks in place will obviously debase the currency, those who focus on fiscal management, transparency, and staying small will do better. They can't have communist ideals.

We suffer a lot from poor management systems. The ANC simply isn't interested in doing things well, when they can siphon funds off to a family member. But there are parties who intend to do things properly, at least better. It's extreme to think that all parties are like the ANC, are only motivated by money, want to grind us to a pulp, and want to be as big as possible. That's extreme black-and-white thinking - either governments don't exist, or they are corrupt?
