Government is a tool, it does whatever the people responsible for it want it to. That a policy of centralization inherently leads to a loss of freedom, to serfdom, and to oppression is quite a strong statement that I don't think most people would accept coming out of the mouth of anyone but Hayek and, frankly, find pretty sensationalist even coming from him. Centralization of power inherently leads to... Centralization of power. While that power can be used to enforce tyranny, it itself is not tyrannical. Hayek clearly prefers deregulation and decentralization which I would argue, in a Capitalist system, merely means transferring power to corporate entities. There's an argument to be had about whether that's a good or a bad thing but I'd be hesitant to describe it as power to the people.
