Equalizing resources lets dominated parties defend themselves and end domination

Evidence

The strategy of reciprocal power is to make the resources of dominator and dominated more equal so that, ideally, a previously dominated person can come to defend themselves against any interference on the part of the dominator. If each can defend themselves effectively against any interference that another can wield, then none of them is going to be dominated by another. None is going to be subject to the permanent possibility of interference on an arbitrary basis by another. — Philip Pettit, Republicanism, 341
