I think those are fair points. But I also think the concerns you're raising here are kind of fundamental problems of politics. So I don't think that it's unique to any of these hypothetical systems, and I don't think these problems would be more or less unsolvable in any of them: these are kind of just the base-level reasons why politics is hard for human beings. (I would also, in passing, make a slight alteration, which is that the problem is less someone being willing to totally dissolve their authority, and more about turning that authority into something that works in a stable, long-term way). I mean, these are also problems that existing political systems tend to run into, you know?

Also, if you're interested in this kind of thing, I strongly recommend On Revolution by Hannah Arendt, which is essentially all about this kind of thing, and the related question of how do you start a new political body after a revolution. It's mostly political/historical and not economic, and it can be some pretty heavy sledding, but I also think it's fantastic and really insightful. And also I'm a raging Arendt fanboy so I couldn't not recommend it.
