It could be the other way around, the wish to seek and hold power leads to
the establishment of  a system which features The insecurity of wage
dependence and the threat of poverty.

The insecurity of wage dependence and the threat of poverty make people seek

power.  Controlling people are driven by insecurity, first and foremost.

Power is only bad when it's abused.  Everyone can't drive the bus at the
same 
time, and whoever is driving will have more power the the riders.  We need
rules 
to limit power, rather than futile efforts to abolish power.
