So many absolutes and at root this Randian freedom. But the freedom of the powerful to curtail that of the powerless can be unlimited.

Politics and markets are both tools that can be used for good or ill. The powers you mentioned come from power itself, whatever the source.

So... there is unalloyed virtue in plutocracy, and only vice and folly in the democratic regulation of power? That's kindof fundamentalist

"Plutocracy" is either a contradiction in terms or a tautology — always a false concept use to confuse rather to enlighten.

"Democracy" is also a largely meaningless word mostly used as a religious mantra to tag some in-group as "good". Disgusting.
