It&#x27;s not my theory, but it is an interesting framework to view politics through.  Myth doesn&#x27;t necessarily mean false.  Even though that&#x27;s the way the original poster used it, I think the framework is actually stronger with the more general definition of myth.  Answering whether the handing out of resources is fair or not is also not necessary for this framework to be insightful.<p>And of course we should engage the content of political beliefs. But we should also seek to understand politics as a phenomenon in itself.  Our understanding of the beliefs is otherwise hollow.
