This solution only works if you are in the special position of being able to make institutional design changes that can’t be undone by potential future enemies. Otherwise, whose “right things” will happen depends on who is currently in charge of institutional design (think gerrymandering).
Then try to make it politically profitable to help sustain those changes you make. Make it so painfully obvious that the only reason to remove those changes would be for one’s unethical gain that no politician would ever do so. The problem then though, is that people end up just not caring enough.
What you’re describing is exactly the position of being able to make institutional design changes that can’t be undone by potential future enemies. This position is “special” not only because the task is very difficult, but also because you have to be the first to think of it.
