Centralized Power

Let me make this simple.

A. People are basically evil.
B. That means they enjoy and cannot help hurting others and themselves.
C. The most effective way to hurt others and themselves is to centralize power, giving a totalitarian monopoly on it to a government elite.
D. Lord Acton said that absolute power corrupts absolutely. He was right.
E. Eric Hoffer sent out numerous alarms, forewarning Americans, the only common people running a free society in the world, to fear and oppose intellectuals--and by extension bureaucrats in all kinds of hierarchies. He cautioned that intellectuals were that type of person most easily corrupted by power. They conspire to serve in any tyrannical elite in the world to push commoners around. The only solution was to pet and flatter them like Hollywood boobs, but deprive them of actual power.
F. How do we forestall intellectuals from acquiring power, the one drug so bad for them, the one drug fatal to them, the one allure that they clutch after to as Tolkien admonished, power to rule them all and in the darkness bind them,  the one drug that they are so driven, so focused, so clever and resourceful at amassing to themselves? We obviously must keep power decentralized permanently. How do we achieve this? I have come up with the best solution that anyone has ever thought of, and it was given to me by Good Spirits.
G. Let each American child be taught to self-realize. As she grows as an armed, militant, violent if necessary, strong, assertive, intellectual, anarchist individuator, as a supercitizen running the government and instructing and commanding obedient politicians, judges and bureaucrats at all levels, she is a complex woman. She is half elite great soul and the other half of her moderated person and being is skilled, down-to-earth commoner. She and her millions of adult peers will be coequal, supercitizens with power decentralized, with liberty and money-gathering for all, with none corrupted by power. Elites will disappear because all are elite and commoner at the same time. The class system will disappear because all are roughly upper middle class. Bureaucracies mostly will disappear as people solve most of their own problems without bureaucrats interfering with and ruining their lives.
 The American citizen in 40 years will all be supercitizens and they will eliminate the need for tyranny, for class systems, for Marxist economics, for big centralized government, for elites of any kind to rule anyone. That is the heaven-on-earth that God has in store for us if we will but improve ourselves and allow it to come about. Mavellonialist philosophy offers insight into getting there.
