RE: War, taxation, and ultimately government itself will eventually go the same way as slavery and human sacrifice

Transitioning into collaborative ownership (which would benefit all people involved) it would be a non-violent means of doing so as people would voluntarily do this based on the benefits.

As long as it would be on a voluntary basis, I have no problem with communities trying this idea out. No doubt, in a free world, where all human interaction is voluntary, different groups of people will live different kinds of lives with different rules and practices. It is an empirical question which rules of ownership benefits people the most, and I support the practical experimentation with different rules.

However, my prediction is that even though collaborative ownership might work in small enough groups, it will break down when groups grow bigger.

"No doubt, in a free world, where all human interaction is voluntary, different groups of people will live different kinds of lives with different rules and practices."

This is exactly the future I hope to help create. One where there is as diverse a system of relating as there are people to relate! That each one is tailored to it's participants! This is possible, and practical!

"However, my prediction is that even though collaborative ownership might work in small enough groups, it will break down when groups grow bigger."

That's just it, with decentralized governance models they don't have to grow bigger! We can fractal this model on any growth scale and the division of collaborative ownership will never exceed roughly 150 people before it fractals out. As roughly 150 is what has been called an optimal number of people to interrelate. It's about as many people as we can recall names, information, relationships about.
