In theory, how would a different system really help?
Currently the people in power manipulate and circumvent the system, do they magically disappear?
There is this belief by so many that somehow, if you create the perfect system, it will somehow overcome human nature or that humans will somehow starting acting collectively altruistic with the right political model.
In most cases, they also imagine themselves in a position of power in this new government, either up in an upper "leadership" class or somehow silently leading "but I'm not a leader", as if somehow the idea itself is so potent that people will just, you know, execute it flawlessly without intervention.
2020s mfers be like "gather berries? Sorry, I'm too busy serving as a neuron in an intercontinental hive mind that poops abstract labor debt coupons, it's human nature."
