I am missing a step in your argument. Why is redistributing power between fallible humans ungood? I mean, surely some humans are more fallible than others, some have more information than others, some have incentives to be fallible in particularly harmful ways, etc.
(I am not arguing in favour of any particular bit of regulation; I just don't see that "regulation is bad because it just redistributes things between fallible humans" makes any more sense than "trade is bad because it just redistributes things between fallible humans".)
"Why is redistributing power between fallible humans ungood? I mean, surely some humans are more fallible than others, some have more information than others, some have incentives to be fallible in particularly harmful ways, etc."
This is what Stalin said as well.
Reversed stupidity is not intelligence.
(Perhaps that's actually your point and you're not agreeing with Lumifer but suggesting that he dislikes regulation only because he associates it with the USSR, or something. In that case, I think you're being unfair; he's smarter than that.)
The system you described requires someone to be on top.
For a more elaborate response, see Animal Farm. :)
I didn't describe a system.
What you're saying seems to be a fully general counterargument against all forms of government. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that -- anarchism is a real thing, after all -- but you're not going to be taken seriously if you suggest that anything other than anarchism must be wrong because Stalin ran a government.
