Government isn't the only place power can be concentrated to be sure. But it is the only place where power is concentrated using coercion.

Everywhere else, some value must be delivered in exchange and there are competing choices. For example, the media has a lot of power but also a lot of competition. And the more technology and choice we have in general creates even more competition.

Your version of reform may not be reality, but nothing is until discussed.
