Same can be said about private corporations. We humans still havent figured out how to structure institutions without constructive destruction in the end. Democracies and free markets both have this correctiv destruction built in and both mechanism are under attack.

Lets hope we still get chances to vote out autocrats peacefully and smash oligopols as the sovereign.

Didn't I say the same thing?

And we never will. There's nothing to figure out here, since human greed is constant everywhere. No matter what perfect system you think you create, over time, power hungry greedy sociopaths climb to the top, and steer it to favor them and their cronies until it collapses.

There is something to find out. In small scale tribes, hierarchies were presumably much more flat societies more egalitarian.

I guess it's still an unsolved organisational problem around communication and transparency.

Countries are not tribes anymore. They're economic zones made for capital generation and accumulation.
