Isn’t redistributing power different from increasing ones own power though?

My goal is to redistribute power from people of my “kind” to people in my geography, roughly evenly. I think that’s fundamentally different from “increasing my own power” although I do admit it’s not wholly different.

I think your statement is just too reductive. There are corporations, federations, partnerships, syndicates, all of these organizations have vastly different power centralization properties.
