No. This - the current system requires perfect humans. Mafia ? Doing what ? Selling drugs ? On what ? There are no money. Stealing food ? It's not worth it. The security - in my system, when you get to know your neighbors because you have time, is much better.
For people who tasted freedom - nobody can steal it. For today's people it's enough for 1 madman (Hitler) to come and make them do what he wants.

Space Exploration: it will happen in my system. People are curious. Young people - for sure. School kills natural curiosity. I am not against learning. So - being curious, hearing there was a time people got to the Moon, and having all the free time in the world, passionate people will research and work on this stuff. If they invent a flying saucer - more will join, and we will become the "flying saucer civilization". Building those ships because we want to. For real. Not like now, trashing the place, and we don't even enjoy doing it. Worse - we are competing for the basics. No tribe ever did that.
A system with free people just works. It does not require perfect people. See those street kids from the link I gave. They were somehow free. Their "organization" came natural and it worked. No need for "perfection". When you impose a system (don;t tell me nobody imposes me anything, I can't make 2 steps without following rules), you need perfect people.
