Hey, it looks like your heart is in the right place, I would really suggest you read a bit about participatory democracy and whole process people's democracy (although the latter has a lot of misinfo about it) I would also try to understand the socialist argument from one party democracies and how they lead to more generative conflict (that is, collegeal onflict that genuinely resolves problems and addresses needs in a way that achieves democratic consensus)
I would also suggest reading some marx who talks a lot about how even regulated capitalism cannot function. I would not start with capital though.
Frankly speaking, I see no actual chance of communism or even just socialism happening in my lifetime, hence I'd rather focus my remaining brain capacity on something that actually seems feasible.
It is not a finite solution but it is what it is.
The ideas that you are proposing are less feasible than socialism. They're literally long term impossible within the logic of capitalism. Which you'd know if you read Marx who lays out why it doesn't work in excruciatingly detailed and well researched ways.
