What I'm saying is that it's better to move away from any kinds of authority. They're always susceptible to corruption such as weaponising AI!

I don't know about you but I want to get away as far as possible from rogue AI, thanks to it being militarised by stoopid hoomans!

Anywhere there is more than two humans, there will be authority. The only question is what shape that authority will take.

Not necessarily. There are societies that are horizontal structure and don't have hard and fast leadership. The early days of humans as hunter gatherers had more or less loose social structures. There are anarchist societies even to this day and the best example is the Kurds.

The Kurds (mostly) live in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. All of those places have an authority structure. What Kurds don't experience an authority structure?

The main representative of Turkish and Iraqi Kurds, PKK party, is anarchist by its nature. The automous region of Rojava that sprung up in Northern Syria also profess to be anarchists to align with their Iraqi and Turkish Kurd brethrens.

Anarchy doesn't mean Mad Max, Fallout or Wild West chaos where it's lawless. Anarchism could take various forms like libertarian socialism or anarcho-syndicalism. Or communism if it ever actually practiced as per theory. The town of Cheran threw out its police force and mayor for collaborating with drug cartels. They do their own policing and self-governing by electing their own mayor every year and banned political parties as the locals thought such notions only divide communities.
