    I agree.

    But wouldn’t you agree that this fundamental dilemma of power inviting abuse has been proven by humanity to be irrespective of the label of the respective societal system?

      @Quittenbrot
      Yes, they are irrespective of labels or systems or ideologies. There is a small % of humanity that are self-righteous, self-interested, double-dealing control freaks. The worst amongst them will always end up competing for power. The rest of us are essentially credulous, malleable serfs.

      I absolutely would agree with that, and that is why I advocate for anarchism, which is the one and only ideology I have encountered which actually accounts for that fact.
