As long as there is a system where anything is power corruption will take hold. Want food and only that group over there has any? Well, now they've got the power. Do you make clothes and that guy over there wants some? You have the power. Resource scarcity leads to power, power leads to abuse, abuse leads to corruption.

The only way the cycle is broken is for nearly everything to be accessible to nearly everyone nearly all the time. That, in a nutshell, is “Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism” and the only way it can be achieved is by reaching a true post scarcity society.

Huh, i just realized where I'm commenting. Hi Socialists!
