You claim to be making a new system, but what here is new? It is just the worst blend of early socialist parties, corporatism, and Xi Jinping' China. It is laughable that you think any of those measures would prevent corruption rather than exacerbate it. Social Credit Systems and Mass Surveillance do not float in the abstract, but are themselves managed and operated by someone—Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Bureaucrats have even managed to line their pockets in countries with no currency, never mind limits on bank accounts.
I see i wasn't wrong when i said you have the spirit of an economist and the mindset of an autist. Efficiency is hypothetical, not categorical. Efficiency for efficiencies sake is pointless. Your understanding of morality is worse even than the most base utilitarians, and presumes the very thing that it dismisses. It's no surprise that someone who shows such distaste for 'whimsical philosophical discussions' would resort to lex talionis, the justice of primitives and barbarians. Legitimacy through fear is the most fragile form of legitimacy, for it lasts only until your back is turned. It exists only in reference to external sanction. When one knows what is right and acts accordingly, guided only by internal sanction—that is a legitimacy whose strength is unparalleled. But it is a legitimacy that can only be reached through freedom, moral education, and a basic respect for human dignity. None of which would exist under your system.
When appeals to reason have been exhasuted, there will always be recourse to the ultima ratio; those who only respect force will always have to be dealt with by force. You void your rights when you act in such a way as to jeopardize everyone else's. There is nothing authoritarian in preventing the destruction of freedom—all republics have a proud history of tyrannicide.
>specialists without spirit, sensualists without heart; this nullity imagines that it has attained a level of civilization never before achieved.
