Consolidation of power has been happening at least since the agricultural revolution 10000 years ago.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to limit it, and there have been periods of relative equality. Just that it's always going to be a battle, there isn't something we can do to change this behavior once and for all.

There isn't something we can do to make people stop trying to consolidate power, but we can do quite a lot of things to put hurdles in their way, or at least stop actively providing them the tools to do it with.
