    How? I can’t imagine how there could never be a need or at least a want for power for some people.

      There’s ways. The indigenous on Canada’s west coast used to hold potlatches. That was an important way for society to maintain a level of material equity.

      The only limit is imagination

        So a form of socialism.

          We’ve done it many different ways under many different labels. I find labels rather limiting. I linked a book below, I encourage you to paruse through it if you have time.

          Most society structures have some form of socialism built in
