Mutual aid is fantastic and makes a wonderful society however there will always be a place for some form of organized government
Taking care of a lot of the humdrum tasks and administration as well as the heavier issues like civil rights, justice, economic justice, and public safety.
When enough people get together in a group some form of a State even a very loose one always evolves. Some form of governance; some form of central or regional influence occurs. Even a loose structure naturally appears when humans congregate together- it's an impossibility not to. Even teams tend to have a team leader or "captain ". I'm not saying they control everything but they have a role.
Same thing with " public management " ie " government".
So all I'm saying is perfection in our management systems is impossible but improvement and accountability IS.
Right now it's clear we have megacorp rule- they set the agenda, they send out the dick tats, our state and federal level politicians comply. We've seen how their worldview operates, when they get what they want most of the rest of us lose. Some people do very well under the system, some do okay enough, and others lose out big....
Is there another system that is capable of protecting human rights, civil rights and providing a better quality of life for most if not all people all the time? Yes I believe there is - it's intelligently managed socialism/communism.
My values are human quality of life first and foremost and environmental integrity (the natural environment). THEN business but ONLY under strict guidelines. There's a wrong and a right way to do business- and most if not all corporations will always do it the wrong way.. we can prevent this with laws. The answer is hard limits, actually enforced , and favor given to small and independent businesses. Economic protections given to every average citizen- hard upper limits set on net worth and so forth. I'm fine with some wealth, but unlimited wealth is ridiculous... No one person or organization has the right to become ginormous and monopolize huge swathes of resources. NO WAY. No, by all means there should be strict limits for personal accumulation. I believe my limits would be very fair to all.
As for local state and federal authorities, well it's a tough situation because right now they're securely in the pocket of the Big Money they don't give an f about the rest of us..
I do think that can change but to be dead honest it's a very difficult problem. It's going to be a very hard push for sure. I do think eventually we can get there however.

The only problem I see is this- so long as US politics and other major countries' politics are for sale to the highest bidder nothing will change. Those whom our sociopathic worthless trash political scum are happy to serve will always be the most ruthless, the most predatory, the wealthiest and have the biggest bribes to offer. Not only that, so long as the vast majority of the non-rich public continues to vote for the trash red-blue duopoly - blood-drinking leopards who eat their faces (and serve the megacorp order) - this won't change. This selfsame public doesn't have the intelligence or the rationality or the awareness to NOT cut their own throat, ergo we're stuck. Say a few racist or ignorant words and you have half the voters by the balls. As for Blue voters, idk- they're ignorant too. Some are privileged but many are middle or lower class yet still buy the propaganda that the Blue party is the " good guy" party. I certainly wish that were true.
So long as courts and cops bow down to EVERYTHING that issues from a politician's pen no matter how poisonous or unethical, we are stuck with this shithole pay-to-play system, enforced by low IQ robot-minded aggressors and (often) predatory DA's and judges.
This is my experience first- and secondhand in my country at least 🇺🇲
Perhaps in time with greater public awareness, greater public unity, or something else we can start to force cracks into this destructive system.
A violent and ruthless megacorporate dictatorship is NOT how I see our global society in any way, shape, or form.
Perfect communism is a completely unattainable myth however I see no reason why we can't have a more positive, moral, collaborative global society i see absolutely no reason at all.
