      possibly, but i think it’s a sort of fundamental problem. I would be curious if history/anthropology has any sort of knowledge on societies that didn’t have a hierarchical power structure within itself. But i’m guessing it’s very uncommon, if not unheard of.

      If humans could do a communal governance structure effectively, one would think it would have already been tried, and successfully implemented.

      Democracy is probably the closest thing we’ve ever had, but it’s still not perfect.

      I’m sure theres also a lot of psych and socio research on this as well.

      there’s also the question of whether it’s even possible to have a communal government structure in the first place, the world is incredibly complex, and politics is even more complex, doing things correctly is very hard.

      TL;DR i don’t think it’s possible, and i’m not sure it ever will, judging by how humans behave.
