Very true and that's definitely a real concern that I personally had in mind. I'm never comfortable simply believing we have benevolent governance. It can be easy to use 'controlled media' and other propaganda to paint the picture the rulers want versus what's really going on. This would be the same concern whether this was a dictatorship or a democracy, they just use slightly different tools to achieve their goals.

Yeah and even if one, two, three, or n administrations of a government are "benevolent," it's guaranteed that at some point some group will take over that's violent, repressive, or destructive in some other way. One monopoly government means no choice and you're stuck with the good, the bad, the incompetent, etc.
