 Love the vibe, energy,  and general sentiment, but going to point out some technicalities.

1.
Similar to how any protocol needs… well… needs a protocol. There must be a rule of law.

2.
Animals are territorial as well, famously monkey tribes attack other monkey tribes over territory in the most brutal fashion. This is natural as a society, hive, tribe, colony… needs a form of protection for itself and its resources.

3.
In order to have anti trust laws to protect you from a Monopoly (ideally anyway). You must have government bodies to oversee it. 

Lastly,
I don’t think a society takes away the sovereignty of the individual or their G-D given rights. A society done right is there to protect, foster, and even provide for it NOT take it away.
