It's a good point and unfortunately one I figured would get confused with what I wrote so I hummed and hawed about writing anything.
I don't think you can distill the world down into "Good vs Evil" -- it would be easier if you could.
What I do think is that power has an innate tendency to protect itself and concentrate and the mechanisms by which it does this _anywhere_ are all strikingly similar -- i.e. if you put them all in a pot and boiled off the water, you would maybe 3-5 different ways for doing this.
