Because i come from a socialism goverment that ended up becoming a half dictatorship, i can say one thing about the power to the people: Sometimes people as a group are blinded by greed or promises, they are unable to actually drive the power on a good way and almost every time, people end up givin their power away to others willingly and with happyness.

Democracy, group thinking, hive mind, all those concepts are always relatable to a kind of slavery, because people is people, the mass is always right and sometimes, they dont really know what to do about power, and they will end up abusing it or losing it.

I loved your thinking and argument, i think is petty solid, great post <3 Have a hug!
