How so? Countries with blown-up systems typically become more shitty, not less.

(I'm not saying anything one way or t'other, just pointing out a little history)

There’s no country that has blown things up and given power to the people. So there’s no precedent to look at.
There’s no such thing as “giving power to the people.” This is grossly naive in both basic economics and society. There is only giving power to different people and under different terms.
