Yeah, It's true people could abuse their power, but when it comes to society the idea that you can get away from the influence of the ruling class when they've already taken over everything, or that they can be defeated without an opposing authoritarian force are Nirvana fallacies. It's better to risk being betrayed than do nothing at all.

I'm not suggesting doing nothing, but giving any person or group absolute power and authority is a recipe for disaster. The idea that there's nothing you can do to get away from the influence of the ruling class is defeatist and incorrect. There's plenty you can do; getting involved in local politics, building local communities, sharing ideas and concepts with other people, withdrawing from public institutions (agorism, growing your own food, starting your own business, using gold/silver/crypto/barter etc instead of fiat currency), not paying taxes, ignoring immoral laws and mandates, protesting against govt overreach, living your best life regardless of the evil that will always be there.

You may save a few people that way, but I'm talking about the nationalist view of trying to save everyone. You can't do this and save people from the technocratic influence of society without embracing the rebellion aspect.
