Your one step away from reinventing communism and 2 from discovering decentralised anarchism as the real answer.
Controlling a nation is power. The people who control the nation have more power than other citizens, they form a political class.
Communism seeks to create a classless society but its main flaw (which is actually a reasonable perspective in historical context and the technology of then) is that it still held on to the idea of having a state, a centralised leadership.
But technology has evolved, anyone can interact with any group through digital means. Anyone can share knowledge or document and publish problematic events in their local area.
Building a network of decentralised neighbourhoods where all citizens are welcome to join the local political debates (and multi local joined sittings) is possible.
There is no need why a few chosen people have to have all the power.

But bears roaming the streets…
That wasn’t a community coming together to share the burden of governance. It was a group of selfish assholes who didn’t want to be told what to do.
Then I think they just reinvented democracy. It would be nice to start over with a clean slate though.
