It's less about the tool and more about how it's used or abused.

Taxes are stolen from the masses for "free" socialist "security" and "defense" but they won't pay for "free" public healthcare, public education, or public transportation.

Look into the Los Angeles Goodyear Tire conspiracy that destroyed their public transport systems and was jammed up in the courts until it was too late to do anything about it.

The ruling class is always the problem.
