more specifically, the point that authority tends to create a separation of interests between rulers and ruled seems clearly true. That's the very problem that democracy was intended to (and sometimes does) alleviate. It's necessary to introduce a degree of instability to the social order, and the question is just how much is necessary for it to remain in motion towards the horizon.
