On a serious note the real takeaway here is that power mad narcissists have been seeking to crush civilization since forever. The actual reason for the Magna Carta, US Constitution and every similar document was to attempt to organize society while still preventing them from achieving their goals.
Thus far we have been mostly unsuccessful. Brave wise men do their absolute best. But the forces of evil always find a crack. In the case of the US Constitution it was "Regulate Interstate Commerce". More often than not the rallying cry for the worst abuses is "For The Children" - because while women are not stupid they are, as a group, VERY short sighted and tremendously gullible.
Within a couple hundred years civilization has degenerated to something closely approximating slavery. So the process, usually with great attendant blood loss and misery, starts all over again.
I am being quite literal when I say: Be careful what rights you give up. Your children will bleed to get them back.

Sheep heard the name Marx and assumed they were supposed to blindly follow what Uncle Karl says. Too bad it was cousin Groucho.

Now that's the kind of Marxism I can believe in!
