Right, that's the worst case scenario result. But I think we (they) might have gotten to it by having decades of unrepresentative government where the gov't represented business at the expense of the majority. And if that's valid, then I think there's an argument to be made about getting the gov't to do what's elected to do by giving it more power to do stuff, as well as experience the consequences of bad gov't earlier, before we get to a DOGE moment. That doesn't really change how capital captures and drives gov't to make decisions in its interest instead of workers, but we'd still be able to course correct faster and more effectively I think. I don't have a settled opinion on this but I've been warming up to the idea that voters should in fact be able to change gov't institution directions via elections in major ways. Also I don't think isolating gov't institutions from elected governments does prevent capital from taking them over. And we might be curbing just our own ability to exercise control.
