I read
these and
such thoughts. I thought.
And after all, the question has popped up: why do you need the state as such? I was taught that the state assigns the function of coordination and usurps violence within itself. That is, it can use violence (military or police), and the rest - no, no.
Usurpation may not occur. The Constitution states that "the people are the bearer of power", therefore, the consolidation of power in the hands of some relatively small community is the delegation of authority. This is for those who do not like the term "usurpation."Why is there a need for violence?
Actually, from resource limitations. If a tribe has land from horizon to horizon, and there is enough beasts and fruits on it, the violence will be only in terms of reproduction, it will be directed to competitors within the tribe and most often will be ritual, without real killing and self-harm.
If the tribe has a competitor, then the violence begins to stratify into the external and internal. The external appeals against this other tribe, and the internal captures several additional goals at once: for example, counterintelligence and ensuring minimum resource security.

Then it all grows, grows, grows ... turning into an Empire, around which other Empire. External violence provides an inflow of resources, internal violence ensures their distribution (in a general sense, including subsequent processing and distribution of processing results).
Now imagine that resources are
unlimited . There is no need to ensure the flow from the outside: inside is enough.
There is no need to ensure distribution inside - everyone gets what he needs. If the need can be met at any time - there is no need to reserve resources “for the future” satisfaction of it.
And then the state will not be needed ... more precisely, similarly to a “boiling vacuum” in physics, a “boiling vacuum” of society will arise: there will be communities whose interests will be beyond material needs, and people will coordinate their efforts to effectively observe their interests.
Here is such a social mechanics ...
