I’m going to stop responding because you don’t really talk against my point about power imbalances. You asked for examples, I gave you some, and then you responded by giving examples of horrible times in human history (you didn’t mention inequality and how it could relate to stability or why the examples relate to my point).

Also, my original comment was about supreme power being something that the majority can get back if they truly wanted to, hence why we have revolutions. That’s still true without extreme power imbalances being problematic.

You never explained how power imbalances affect human survival as a species, which is key to your original evolution argument. Revolutions and instability represent periods of unhappiness, just as brutal authoritarian systems do, but neither is much of a threat to survival of the species or evolutionary fitness in general.

Nuclear weapons do represent a real threat to species survival but still the only country to have used nuclear weapons in war is a democracy, so the jury’s still out on that.
