Whatever that means, apparently. Dodgy

It means humans are often devious shits who once they attain the smallest bit of power abuse it as fully as any despot. See traffic wardens, teachers and tax office clerks.

I'm inclined to agree, you get one Nero wanabee in such a government and we're all fucked.Even if ran by majority rule we're all fucked because majority rule would be theocratic rule.
