I’ve read about capitalist governments doing the same thing. All groups can make mistakes. Unions have done stupid things, too. This doesn’t mean that we should never seek collective power in a battle against other forms of colllecive power.
Any kind of power can corrupt. This isn’t an argument against trying, but for any systems of power to be built with mechanisms to make it more difficult to entrench that power so it doesn’t end up used against those it is intended to help.
Though I don’t know what kind of defense there is against a cult of personality.

I’ve read about guilds literally banning innovation in a 12 part series on German history.
