I posit that even the utopian futures will require something like it to preserve the utopias. Defensive Democracy will eventually see it as a necessary evil. The questions become: when? where first and where last? etc.

    The point is not to have it come to pass period. Just because you personally like an idea because it fits into your world view doesn’t mean that’s it’s necessary, or unavoidable. Thinking about checks and balances is admitting defeat. if you want a thought experiment think about all the ways that current government are trying to bring this about and instead of checks and balances think about was to push back and get rid of such a system.
