How often does the government decide to give back power to the people just out of the goodness of their hearts? How often does a career politician decide to step aside because someone else has better ideas? All I'm saying is that there's no optimal solution here, it's all a balance. I don't want to live in a government mandated box. One of the biggest problems of the state has always been how to hold power accountable. I can see a nightmare forming where one becomes a slave to their managerial class. Where everything is tracked and managed. No new ideas can form. No new paths can be taken. Everything is mercilessly beaten down as they don't obey the rules or the standards. It all leads to stagnation and misery, and a few people making a killing off the backs of the majority. Sure, very few people want to live in a total anarchy. But giving the state a total control over money and wealth seems like a complete solution to the too much freedom problem.
