But the argument that power corrupts tend to seem an insufficient argument. Power naturally attracts the corruptible. It's possible to have a system recruit and filter based on values. You see examples of that from Quaker bankers, to soldiers fighting to the death, and rulers lacking corruption. I don't think it's helpful to say people are always corrupt with power because it's not true. It depends. Also, I approve of your acknowledgement of the holodomor! | |

As things stand, it is nothing but a recipe for another Holocaust or Holodomor. | |
