"Iron Law of Oligarchy" a principle that remains a cornerstone for understanding why political movements (no matter how idealistic: Commie, Socialist, Republics, Democracy) tend toward Centralized Control.
Read: Robert Michels' book, "Political Parties: A Sociological Study of the Oligarchical Tendencies of Modern Democracy"
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Another reply in the same democracy/oligarchy thread, citing Robert Michels' "Iron Law of Oligarchy." Continues the same political-philosophy thread as the prior two screenshots (Aella / Athens book); tangential background reading connecting to power-concentration themes relevant to AI governance.
