Let's invert your argument on it's head:
- No one of the citizenry exists to play this role. Why?
- There is nothing stopping anyone who has regulated the system from switching sides to the thing they used to regulate
- Therefore, anyone qualified enough will pass through the revolving door and systematically brain-drain the regulatory apparatus rendering it impotent
- Therefore, this part of capitalism is able to seamlessly absorb and neutralize any resistance or regulation
- Therefore, there is nothing stopping it from absorbing all power and instituting a one party state
Don't call pointing out the corruptibility of this system "faux controversy."
