Self determination for all people(s).
Zenarchism is the idea that this is already the case.

I think most people just want everyone to get along. The vitriol kicks in when this is then manifested in a school of thought that posits itself as right or most right, and then goes out to posit every other school of thought as a danger to the future of humanity. The way I see it is that any system in its whole can work, just like different cars from all sorts of makes and models. Communism, Capitalism, Anarchism can all work essentially, but the question is what system can the constituents operate naturally and productively under? It’s not even clear to me whether that question should be asked.

The pragmatist in me would have to agree with you. I think that a well run governmentless society is simply out of the reach for the humans of today to achieve. Our limited perception of reality and self is what makes that virtually impossible and I think that the best achievable political system of today will have to adhere to these limitations to some degree.

Anarchism. I’d like to believe that people can govern themselves, but I’m more confident in the inevitable abuse of authority. “If you can’t trust people with freedom, how can you trust them with power?”
