True. Intellectual Monopoly is just one component of the much bigger
problem of exploitation. Those with power, exploit. Those with a voice,
dissent. Most just chew the grass, occasionally bleating when they get
zapped by the electric fence, whilst waiting obliviously to become some
fat oaf's dinner.
