    Power structures can absolutely be eliminated. By taking away the ability for anyone to carry out the threat of violence, and removing harmful institutions like the state and capitalism

      How exactly do you take away the ability for anyone to carry out violence? How do you take away my ability to punch you? To beat you with a steel pipe? To get my friends together to beat you to a pulp?

      Literally, I’m curious. How do you take those abilities away?

        You could start by trying to resolve any conflict that would lead to that in the first place. But if you mean do it just because you feel like it then the community could require you to make reparations or something like that. If that still didn’t work you could be kicked out of the community

              Until the first person realizes that if they can sway 51% of the community, they can oppress the other 49%. Technically everyone has an equal vote, but one person definitely wields more power. It’s just mob rule, whoever is most persuasive is in charge.
