    As I said, The powerful will always seek to exploit the labor of the masses, under any economic system. It appears to be fundamental to human nature.

    This is pseudoscience.

            At all, to any degree? Don’t think that’s possible, but it certainly happened to a far lesser extent in AES countries.

              The extent to which it happens depends on the structures in place to prevent it. That’s all I’m saying. If left unchecked, power corrupts.

                It’s still vibes-based, the post-office having a manage doesn’t mean the system is tyrannical. How power is structured matters too.

                  The boss of the post office would absolutely be tyrannical if they could lol. In fact they often are. “Going postal” is a whole thing.

                  But generally, the system keeps them in check.
