@Alemas: I know what you asked, and my point was that it's not topical to our discussion. People can have extreme amounts of influence in whichever system that we use.

I also responded, by saying that influence can be used for bad or good. A person having an extreme amount of influence is good if they use it for good, and bad if they use it for bad.
