This is a pretty weak argument, in my opinion: "we shouldn't do this because powerful people who don't benefit will try to undo it."

It's not an argument not to do it. I'm just pointing out that it isn't enough to make the world a better place, you need to have a plan ready for how to keep it that way or we just get captured again.

No you don’t because no plan survives first contact with reality. You simply have to keep plugging the benefits and make it politically infeasible for MPs/Congress/Etc. to undo it.
