@c8ef4612 No. Morally speaking, they can’t fight with others. Well people are very much not moral, at least not all of them, and certainly not a majority. So if your only relying on morality to stop that, then im afraid the system can work IMO. Why wouldn’t history repeat? Good question. That is asking for predicting the future. Im not asking you to predict the future. But its happened hundreds of thousands of times across the globe every time where a no-rules group of people eventually formed individual communities and over time those evolved into goverments. So unless your doing something different, and it doesnt sound like you are other than hitting the reset sqitch on governments. Then the only rasonable conclusion is youll get the same results int he end. The France revolution reverted to an emperor once, but not a second time. Why? And yet not a single place int eh world has ever not formed into a single massive government you arent allowed to leave freely with.. like never, not in france or any other nation… The way i see it if governments have always formed and become pervasive then there is simply no logical reason thinking doing it again will somehow not result in that same ending. I think that people are getting wiser to “rulers” and with equalization of fighting power through modern weapons it should be much harder to re-establish the State. They might get wiser to rulers, sure, but your system still relies on rules, the commune is your ruler now and whatever rules they impose.. I can say this, if people in their currently mentality tried this, you’d have a national government back in place by the end of the week. PEople are violent and intolerant of other people with different views… cant see this working more than a few days at best. @5661329e
