foss has a legally binding licence to support itself, this licence can be seen as a vanguard as it steers and protects the software, without the licence people would be sure to steal and monetise others works. But let's say Foss became the defacto, everyone releases free fully open and no anti feature software, we could loss the vanguard and naturally a classless system would be present.

Could a non-human vanguard be possible for a broader scope of governance? I don't trust humanity all that much when it come to dictation.

No, that is just another class of ownership. Whoever maintains the AI would be the ruling class. Or if we're talking AGI, there's little reason humanity should trust what humans build over what humans do.

AI could do it but this is fantasy, current ai would have everyone eating glue pizza lol.

This should be worked on seriously. Our future looks bleak and we need to do something about it.

It already was, compare project cybersyn to the Walmarts and amazons we have now.

Software is not a person and will serve the people in control of it.

Sorry, but I don't trust humanity. How do I know this isn't just some ploy to further enslave workers?
