Concentration of power is the greatest threat to any decentralized organization, because a single member or sub-coalition that gains a majority of power in an inherently democratic organization will eventually control it no matter what safeguards are in place, at which point the organization is no longer decentralized.

Source quote, verbatim
The idea is that if a single member, or even a sub-coalition, gains j\% of the power in an inherently dem- ocratic organization, they will eventually control it, no matter what the safeguards are.
