True, the points raised here is that the cost is to most is prohibitively costly to make it not so.

Take the simple case of fighting a speeding ticket the cost of fighting it is so much above the cost of paying it that to most people there is not differnce to having a man in a suit say pay this or else without any evidence or compliance with a law in a dictatorship.

Parent law shake downs is another example of little difference between a patent shake down in a western country and an oligarch

Now obviously it isn’t doom and gloom and it’s all the same. But also for most people living in a democracy or a dictatorship there isn’t much impact to their lives
