It’s more like elite psychology. Positions of power self-select for a very specific kind of bad person, who would rather die, than have peasants become any more free.

This effect exists, as well amongst left wing leaders, yet we do observe more diminishing inequalities in countries ruled by left-wing coalitions.
I do think that power-seeking individuals will tend to be anti-equality, yet to some extent, democracy works as the left-wing variety of these individuals have to conquer power by increasing redistribution.
