&gt; &quot;And incidentally, your classless utopia has a new crop of &quot;influencers&quot; (read: leadership-class) with disproportionate power. With no structures in place to restrain them but other members of the leadership-class with disproportionate power. That really only ends two ways - warring warlords or the leadership class unifying into an oligarchy.&quot;<p>The power of the &quot;influencers&quot; depends on the education level of the general population, does it not?<p>&gt; &quot;Oh, and you&#x27;ve overlooked how readily people are led into supporting positions directly contrary to their interests. It happens all the time. Tribal social structures and group identities make it easy and common.&quot;<p>As I&#x27;ve said to you before in an earlier comment, it&#x27;ll take time to undo our earlier programming, to make us less prone to follow hierarchical structures (and to think with a mob mentality). The education to enable this can start today, we don&#x27;t need to change our society in order to start changing ourselves.
