You are right, but this is because you view that quote from the democratic perspective, in general mixing politics with finance this is the result, “government” per se is a group of people who controls the country.

Same message can be used with bitcoin against fiat, but if we view things just from one side of owr own view and understanding and not knowing or having programmed minds with propaganda every day, yeah.

Also "We are the shadows that serve the light" is better quote.
