That is a misleading characterization. It's not an either / or situation.
Your idealistic vision of 'hundreds of millions or billions of
individuals interacting peacefully' could be called sheep.
Unfortunately they are surrounded by a cadre of rapacious wolves
(pretending to be clever sheep) with dens in Wall Street.
It's not a case of a few people directing all the rest. We just want
some gamekeepers with big guns to deal with the wolves.
