I appreciate your engagement, and I don't really have a plan myself to address these problems, but I don't really know what to do with "Socialism" as a recommendation. Care to elaborate what you think I, or anyone should do or advocate for more concretely?

The reason I mentioned competition is that, even under a complete command economy, there is still internal competition for control, which I think would still lead to human disempowerment eventually for similar reasons. Though probably on a longer time scale, which might still be a win. The only way to avoid being outcompeted is to have a total state ruled by something sufficiently agentic to resist all attempts to even adjust its policies. Which sounds terrifying and hard to get right on the first try.

A typical/classic way to build socialism is to organize the working class.
