The so-called equal rights and human liberation do not mean the elimination of power; power essentially originates from the possession of resources and the capacity for organizational rules, and it will only continuously shift its carriers. Historically, whether through land, capital, or systems and narratives, power always reconcentrates within "comparable distribution structures," and the mechanism of comparison inevitably leads to competition, polarization, and class stratification. Therefore, even transitioning from factor distribution to distribution according to work, and then to distribution according to need, merely changes the flow of power rather than eliminating power itself—it will shift from resource allocation to the systems of need definition and interpretation. Ultimately, power will not disappear; it will only continuously migrate and reorganize. Human "liberation" is more like a structural evolution in progress rather than a final endpoint.
