How is that dystopic and authoritarian? Looks like you're throwing a bunch of buzz words for shock value with little argument to back it up. We already trust code as contract everyday every time you make a payment through SSL (anyone who lived through the 90's and early 2000's remembers how people were scared to death of online payment security and now it happens every millisecond). Ethereum is just a distributed version of that with no middle man, that is to say it can fail like SSL can when compromised but it doesn't mean we should throw it out the window just because it could sometimes fail. By that logic we should still be cavemen and forget about any technology ever.

I hope you're aware that the exact same thing happened with these indexed loans where people weren't aware that interests could fluctuate with time, right?
