      No. It is so there isn’t civil war. No duels, vigilantes and non state actors who profiteer of e.g. drugs, fossil resources etc.

        Exactly. If people wield that power they can use it to stop people profiteering off of drugs and fossil resources.

        But instead the rich wield that power so they use it to keep people starving on the streets because they don’t care about the well being of everyone, only that they remain wealthy so they’ll crack down on anyone who gets out of line.
