I posit that even the utopian futures will require something like it to preserve the utopias. Defensive Democracy will eventually see it as a necessary evil. The questions become: when? where first and where last? etc.

This is true of almost any institution if the checks and balances are broken. Courts are great, but kangaroo courts are terrible. Democracy is great, until it elects a dictator. Etc.
Just because we don’t personally like an idea doesn’t mean it is avoidable from the perspective of a civilization.
If you work on the assumption that it is unavoidable: what checks and balances make it palatable?
