Fair enough. But I see your solution as a stepping stone with the same narrative, a state as a solution. I think the first step is to dare to think bigger, to dare to see the horizon as it could be.

Like Thoreau's take: "I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe--"That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. " 'When prepared for it' That's an important point to keep in mind IMO
