>>>>>[Your speculations on power relations have merit. Consider the
possibility of fragmented power, e.g. the conception forwarded by Michel
Foucault. In his view, everyone possessed power, though not absolutely.
Still, under your constrictions, everyone would then become corrupt and.
subsequently, be drawn to each other. The second half of the 20th century
serves as an ample example of Foucault's thesis and the initial conclusion,
however, it falters when considering the mutual attraction among the
empowered and corrupted.]<<<<<
