If you're going to work within the system, you have to advocate lobbying.

Which is why I don't advocate working within the system. The system creates the very problems it claims to solve. As a society, we have a very naive idea about lobbying: that it's a way for outsiders to persuade the government. But lobbying has evolved way past that. Lobbying today includes a revolving door through which corporate lobbyists get jobs in the very agencies that regulate the corporation they were lobbying for. There is no working with the system. We need to work against the system.
