It's the age old issue of systems and how easily they are co-opted and taken over. That's the primary reason to not have government. If you create a system that can be taken over by collectivists, it will be taken over by collectivists. Sadly, Steemit's blockchain is no different. We have to defend individual liberty here though even if we risk upsetting some of the collectivist whales. My hope though is that the whales will realize that collectivism is certainly not in their favor. For example, why would @jamesc delegate SP to a collectivist that doesn't believe in private property? /boggle
