The system's neatest trick.
To understand what the trick is, we first have to understand what the system itself is, and is not. For starters, it has to be stated that while people in positions of power and people with authority (politicians, billionaires etc.) and people who help them exert their authority (cops, military) are servants of the system, they don't constitute it. The reason for this being that their personal beliefs may actually be in conflict with what's beneficial for the system. A quick example would be police brutality. A cop who beats a suspect is not a cop who does the system's work, as violence is not beneficial to the system. He is merely letting out his own rage. This also applies to, for example, politicians. Corrupt politicians existing doesn't mean that corruption is beneficial to the system, and as long as they don't publicly condone acts of stealing and corruption, they are still obedient servants of the system.
