    But then we’d get back to authoritarian society where some random representative would have resources to usurp. Taxes will solve nothing. No, we’ve got to dismantle the whole concept of superpowers, accumulation, and capitalism. We have enough just to feed everyone and educate all who want to be educated.

      How does that follow yet dismantling all current systems wouldn’t cause the same problem?

      The answer is taxes. It’s simple and effective without any revolution that would likely result in an authoritarian regime. It’s a lack of taxes which allows authoritarians to flourish because the money they centralize is power. Distribute the money and you distribute the power.
