living in a world full of rivalries , constant attacks and at the same time the population is suffering economically and they go so far as to protest in the streets while at the same time the government does not hear that the people are becoming poorer and poorer from the attacks they start without questioning both the economical state they are in the current time and the case that the world is not in a position to fight nor to support the whole situation . So, the government implements new taxing strategies either explicitly or through some other tax obligations to support those attacks . In the summary, when a political group is in the power of a countryit MUST listen first to the people living in the country and afterwards deciding diplomatically whats best for the country. With these being said, when the political system of a country is not able to "understand" and implement the world of the people it cannot be referred to as fair. Although, i do not believe that it cannot be trusted cause if a political group is in power someone has voted for it to be there.

For
The nature of politics is it deals with group dynamics. The group dynamics, of large groups, does not lead to fairness. Fairness tends to happen between two people or in very small groups where the members know each other and care about each other.. With large group dynamics there is an element of impersonal interactions; which leads to alliances that create a "them and us" dynamic. Once "them and us" has been established, then it leads to gaslighting and lies and patronage, where fairness and merit, is not the only or even primary, parts of the calculation, but, instead personal gain and profit for your side and yourself. With democratic politics, this appears due to the huge amount of people involved, where it is impossible to know everyone individually and care about everyone individually. In all political systems there is also the possibility of "ego maniacs or psychopaths", that only care about themselves and who are willing to sacrifice any fairness for their own, or the people the do know, gains. With large scale autocracies/Authoritarian/Totalitarian Regimes/oligarchies, the unfairness is built into the system, with fairness lost, as a primary goal, right at the beginning Because "them and us" is part of the political system. True communism has never been tried and instead the attempts at it have failed in terms of fairness.. It is foolish to trust people who do not care about you and so it is foolish to trust the fairness of autocracies/Authoritarian/Totalitarian Regimes/oligarchies and large scale democratic political systems and attempts at communism. Trusting large politcal parties to be fair is foolish.
