Individual humans are not aligned at all, see “power corrupts”. Human societies are somewhat aligned with individual humans, in the sense that they need humans to exist and keep the society going, and those “unaligned” disappear pretty quickly. I do not see any alignment difference between totalitarian and democratic regimes, if you measure alignment by the average happiness of society. I don’t disagree that human misalignment has only moderate effects because of various limits on their power.
