Yes, decision making power has been hijacked from the population at large and put into the hands of a few. But the point I was trying to make was that these are still just decisions made by somebody, decisions that can change(or be forced to change). They are not the result of some inevitable process that it is foolish to try to change, as is often claimed by proponents of "free" markets etc. There is no "natural" distribution of wealth and resources that will be undermined by redistribution, because the current distribution of wealth is itself the result of hundreds of years of redistribution, from the commons into private hands, from the third world into the first, and from the disenfranchised to the wealthy.
