cannonfodder?
it makes sense that the most aggressive/ greedy/ powerkeen/ moneymad/ dirtiest fighters will rise to the top, where they are met by all the other hardest keenest thieves [nation leaders or owners], who will fight each other most intensely, & thus suffer the most attrition, danger - eg, the organised crime syndicates fighting each other to the death, the corporate infighting backstabbing etc, the kings fighting each other, & using the ppl for funds & cannonfodder, fomenting wars for profit
'when elephants fight, it is the grass [ie, the ppl] that suffers' [the elephants suffer too]
eg, the mafias & triads grow up out of the fighting among poverty & hardship, & thus become hardest fighters, & thus easily conquer the richer softer higher levels of society, as the sicilian mafia conquered america during the 20th C [the mafia is bigger than the 5 biggest corporatns together]
ditto the russian mafia, released into america by the fall of communsm
ditto sth amercn druglords

Is this good?

No.

It would be much better for the least human (that is to say, the most aggressive, greedy, power-hungry, money-mad, dirties fighters) to NOT be in control of everything.

I wouldn't object to dumping them all on an island so they all kill each other off, but, no, I don't want them in charge, using the rest of us as cannon-fodder or slaves.
