Not sure i agree with you... but its in the definition of "political power"

In our democratic system where a person cannot easily leave and has no chance to agree to or decline the social contract, then political power is always an evil.

Now, if we were talking about someone who lots respected, and was out there saying, "follow me" and many did, then that is political power that can be good.  But i am not sure that will be the definition or word used in the future.

Further, there are a lot of sheeple.  And they need that shepherd and guard dog.  So, we need to think of a system where people who are sheep can get what they need, and the rest of us can be left alone.

I'm going with the definition of politics which seems most specific-- that embodied in ["the political means"](https://oll.libertyfund.org/quotes/150).

I would be lying if I said I'm willing to sacrifice anyone or anything for "the sheeple". They made their bed, let them lie in it. Nothing about their personal defects and failings obligates anyone else to put up with anything on their behalf.
