This is why we have “checks and balances”. The saying is “power
corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. A free, democratic
society can only stay free and democratic if you have a carefully
designed separation of powers between different parts that keep an eye
on each other.
Talking about who likes to be told what to do and who is able to think
for themselves, what was the issue again about right-wingers not being
able to get help from left-wingers with Free Software? Are the
right-wingers not able to figure things out for themselves?
