Food is literally rule

Edit: Could you please chill it with the taking everything so bloody seriously? It's low-hanging fruit leftist agitprop from c/196. It doesn't aim to be coherent with the very letter of Marx or whatever leftist group/cult-leader you prefer.

Power is like a cursed trinket from fantasy literature/games, where upon picking it up it slowly increases "corruption".

People really do think that way, unfortunately.

Try thinking like this: Having more power means that your decisions, preferences, biases and limitations have more weight. With more weight, you will bulldoze whatever other people want. With all the weight, whatever you say goes. The corruption is a part of the system overruling the rest through no malicious intent.

That's not corruption, though, that's just how administration works. There can absolutely be good reasons for people to have more of a say when it comes to decision making, and these people can be selected democratically or meritocratically.
