In simpler terms, productive people don't need government and can only be exploited by it due to the nature of democracy

Productive people very much need government. Want to deal with foreigners? You need a government that can protect you and negotiate with their sovereign. Want to not get robbed by an invading army? Want to have an environment conducive to moral development of your children?

No matter what system of government you advocate for, the democratic tendency is still there. How do you ensure your government avoids exploiting minority classes for the benefit of the majority when that will always have the support of the masses?

Have a King, the King has Dukes, the Dukes have Barons, the Barons have households. No democratic tendencies at all. Taking from one set of households to benefit another set takes away from one Baron to benefit another so the second Baron uses his power to protect his clients.

Expropriating group A to pay off group B is an alien problem in that case - why would anyone do it? Sure group B would like it but the deadweight loss means the King overall loses out - which means he doesn't want it done.
