OK then. Now expand upon it. What does that fact say about the viability of Democracy? Does it not indicate a strictly hierarchical society where the few control the many? Of course it does.
Control can be benign. We don't have to be ruled by sadistic demons. Pretending that everyone is equal always get you that.

Feudalism is the ultimate hierarchical society, where everyone has their place, period for a lifetime. Power is born into, the rest work the “fields”.
Now, the antithesis to the feudal structure is cities. The development of cities in the Middle Ages caused the Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment. Today, if we spin back to feudalism, the cities will lose their function and become cesspools of humanity. Crime explodes, addiction increases, infrastructure crumbles, gangs proliferate, business moves away, the politics deteriorate, judicial systems become for sale, corruption spreads. Just like we are witnessing. Cities need a function, something to put their people to work to support their families. Otherwise, ??????
Exactly. Some creativity and social mobility is fine, in fact it's wise from the pov of the rulers. And JUST in a higher sense. But it must be controlled.
The United States allowed settlers to do whatever they wanted. So they were often starting trouble with the Indians that led to all out war. Canada didn't allow settlement until a given tribe was pacified. Settlement happened in both cases, one way was just far more rational and peaceful is all.
Of course the Indians started trouble too. And they were losing their lands in both cases.
