The monopoly on violence makes the agents of the State to be above everybody else and enables them to impose their will to all. There are no incentives for them to seek the well-being of others, but all incentives are to seek only their own benefit. The State โ€“ the centralizing entity who has the monopoly on violence โ€“ will always design privileges, favor lobbies, endorse vested interest, but above all attracts those who desire power, offers them the power to dominate over others, to control others, to be above others, it's elections select the most unscrupulous, reckless psychopaths โ€“ those willing to do whatever it costs to win โ€“ and when they get there they receive the power they so desperately desired, they now can control the lives of many who's destinies now depends of their designs, they now are sustained by those they control and are now immune to the consequences of their actions, they are now much sought after by those desiring privileges, those lobbying for their own sake, for they now have the power to grant it, and whatever their hearts desire will not be done with their own money, but with that of their subjects.

But you also see, that as long as there are popular votes, it is the society who decides to choose the person as representants? Society can also start to elect people, which have good credibility. People which have prooven to respond integer on the trust they are given. Society can decline votes to ruthless people. I think the key is education. And without education there is no opportunity for a fair society. Since fairness depends on many people which know and enforce their rights without taking them from others. I see the problem as an inherent natural problem, we can solve. But it is much work. It is actually educating rights and wrongs to all generations. Since this is the only way decentralisation works. When many people personally learn about rights and wrongs and act towards a world, where those are enforced for everyone.
