    I’m not exactly sure what the question is, but if its that “power always corrupts”, this might be true for capitalist countries, which allow private ownership of capital, and creates a system that encourages and incentivizes accumulation of power.

    I haven’t posed a question. And what I am trying to get at is that power itself incentivizes accumulation and retention of power.

    then no one person can accumulate that much power,

    It doesn’t have to be one person, a council, committee, or other group of people can always be incentivized to retain and accumulate power.

    but by the socialist state who commands them to protect the people. Socialist states are going to be receptive to accusations of abuses, because that means they’re harming the people.

    The PRC regularly attacks citizens and journalists that criticize their government.
