people respond to incentives.
that's all you need to know.
take the good and the evil, the smart and the stupid out of it, and it will make a lot more sense.
most people would be just as 'evil' as who you are talking about given they had the same levels of power. you false belief is that these people 'in power' are somehow superhuman and can resist the temptations and abuses that come with the power they have... they can't, and don't, and most folks are like that. it's exceptional when someone doesn't abuse their power.
Nonsense. I'd build a perfectly fine utopia!
After culling that 99.9% of the troublesome population.

Which is what us anarchists have been trying to tell everyone forever.
Nobody can be trusted with power. Nobody. The only real solution is to prevent the accumulation of power in the first place.
oh and how do you go about that exactly?
you guys are always going on about these big principles, but you never have actionable plans.
turns out pretty much ever social structure has power, or do you anarchists not have leaders and figure heads you all worship and adore and fight over who is best living the 'legacy' of who who are the 'true' anarchists... hmm almost as if your idealistic theory fails even among it's own adherents...
