I don't see your point really.
The parasite class, the wannabe leaders too weak and cowardly to do the job themselves but still desire the wealth and fine living, worked out a way to exploit their way behind the throne. The ancient Egyptians pretty much nailed the formula, and the priests of the Middle Ages refined and concentrated it through superstitious fear; to the point where people even now willingly seek out their own chains. Don't blame humanity for the crimes of one institution of con merchants.
And what do you say is the source of said institution of con merchants? Humanity.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
