> The aggregation of power into some kind of central authority system for the good of the people always ends up bad for the people.

You will find that this sentiment is quite popular among communists these days. The idea of achieving a classless, stateless society via the use of a central state is inherently contradictory. (Though that's not to say that the alternatives are necessarily more realistic)

It's obvious to anyone who has read history, or can see the 'communist' countries of today.

It's just the wannabe communists who are still silly enough to think they'll get it right this time.
