People seek to acquire, the more agency they have the more they can acquire, and so one of the things they seek to acquire is agency, and one of the things that increases agency is autonomy, so they seek autonomy. So does the king, so does the merchant, so does the thief, and so does the murderer. Nietzche uses the word ‘power’ because he’s a romanticists raised in bibilical tradition.

Man acquires. It’s a law of nature, and the origin of natural law.
