Every individual counts as the ultimate phenomenon so that there can be nothing outshining him. As a consequence nobody has the right to lift up himself pretending to be the boss. This can be considered as the 'philosophical' argument against power. Although this kind of power is totally reprehensible and can be considered as a terrible disaster for the world, the complete human history shows a daily and never ending struggle for power. The reason is that till today man isn't fully developed.
Mankind is still immature.
According to the common opinion it has nothing to do with maturity and development. The idea is that man always will seek for power so that inevitably there will be tyranny till the end of times. So for man there is not a single hopeful prospect. The usual answer to this abuse is that there has to be the just exertion of some kind of power for the best, in order that people will be forced to go along with a system of reasonable agreements. But, if this is true ordinary people couldn't have any other choice than obeying a highly placed elite and for no one else there would be any opportunity to manifest herself or himself as a free and independent individual.
