I would say that you have left your society and government open to the inevitably of corruption when you place the power in one person's hands. I've been advocating for elected councils to run the system. It's not impossible to corrupt an elected council, one needs look no further than the US Congress, or whatever they call the CCP massive room of people. I would propose that just having a council is not enough, one also needs to have a more robust voting system such as Ranked Choice Voting, or another runoff system so that you don't end up with a choice between two shit sandwiches. We also need to abolish policing, as it is currently done, as a career. I'm not certain how to fix this one, and perhaps we can't without actual incorruptible androids and AI.

The real issue is that we the people have tried to implement these changes only for the rich old fossils to refuse the will of the people. Just look at what is happening with Measure 1&2 in Ohio.

I don't think there is an imediate solution. Humams can not be trusted with power, it's human nature. I see only 2 ways, either someone/thing else does it or, a more realistic one, technology becomes so powerful that we can manage the managers, monitoring their actions/choices (and voting?! maybe?!) Idk, but remember that tech is a sword and not a knife, if it monitors them.they would also monitor us.

Anyway there is no simple solution. Captalism as is today and comunism as is today are both bad options.
