    When there isn’t a need for it, attempts at grasping power shall be rebuked or ignored.
    The key strategy is therefore to remove the need for power.

      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

            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
