Capacity: the ability to legally bind oneself (pejorative term)
Power: the ability to legally bind others (pejorative term)
Why use this pejorative term? Quite simply, it goes against all freedom. Freedom is being free, not binding oneself, or worse, being bound.
To bind (pejorative term): to prevent a person from moving and, more generally, from making decisions; in short, to hold them captive.

Who holds this power: the elites, right?
Who are the elites? Contrary to popular belief, it's not just those with power, money, etc. This is a distorted image. So, those who educate the people are, unless I'm mistaken:

- Politicians: members of government, members of parliament, etc., with established rules
- Film producers, actors, and other screenwriters
- Authors of textbooks, novels, fiction, historical works, biographies, etc.
This list is certainly not exhaustive, but I think it provides a good overview of current events.
