The primary upside of liberal democracy is very often alleged to be the peaceful transfer of power. This is such a towering load of fuckwaddery, it makes me want to shit upon the head of whoever came up with it. 

If you are in a political system in which power can be transferred PeAcEfUlLY among political factions, you exist in a single-party political system, and the factions are only apparent. 

When the uniparty cartel breaks down and actual politics re-emerge, the whole criminal justice system gets turned on opposition candidates. They try to shoot opposition candidates in the head. They turn domestic spy agencies loose on opposition candidates. And so on. 

These tactics are how you can recognise real politics, as opposed to fake politics: The instrumentalisation of state security services or criminal justice apparatus or random telegram-actrivated crazy people against the opposition is real politics. Trying to kill enemies is real politics. There are game-theoretical reasons for this. If you take the high road of non-skullduggery in conditions of Realpolitik, you're not going to win.
