I have an extremist view of the legal system: I think all lawyers should be government employees and they should be assigned cases based on their area of expertise in law.
So no matter how many people sue you and no matter how much legal harassment any given entity attempts, it’s the government’s problem to manage all of that.
It shouldn’t be possible to bankrupt someone with legal fees alone. It shouldn’t be possible for a billionaire (or corporation) to always have the best legal team. It shouldn’t cost millions of dollars to defend yourself from or litigate a patent.
The only way I can think of to solve these problems is to get rid of private firms.
I’ve seen this before. Last time I looked, it required that everyone live in cities with good public transportation. It also didn’t factor in modern necessities like air conditioning (which will be actually necessary in many more parts of the world due to global warming).
Basically, for this to work, everyone needs to live in 2-bedroom apartments… Without air conditioning or anything like a desktop PC. You’d have a small refrigerator and heat your food with a microwave (and nothing else because stovetop and ovens use up too much energy).
It also makes huge assumptions about the availability of food, where it can be grown, and that all the necessary nutrients/fertilizer are already present in the soil and that transporting/processing things like grain is super short distance/cheap.
Also, communism. It requires functioning communism. That everyone will be ok with it and there will be no wars over resources/land.
