not in our lives? sure, probably not significantly on a global scale, probably not within city centers or any highly population dense areas

however statelessness and subsistence lifestyles have existed for hundreds of millions or billions of people within the last 500 years on every continent.. humanity does not end at the borders of empires, and even within the borders countries draw for themselves the populations have not been entirely captured and integrated into their economic systems. is that unburdened independence not in effect statelessness? what of farmers in remote parts of India or Africa leading lives of subsistence?

what turns money into power? the basis isn't what it can get you but what happens to you without it.

the dispossession of the common lands from the people, the violent crippling of people's ability to feed themselves and in turn deny a wage in favor of working for yourself and your community is one of the original sins of capitalism. the myth of progress is a european justification for cultural hegemony, and a justification for hierarchy and institutional control over society created when Europeans were presented with alternative ways of life. human society cannot be reduced to "more complex = less free." statelessness is far more natural and necessary than the ordering of all people into an economic or political pyramid. a socialist society which flattens the pyramid in terms of individual finance but still operates on the threat of the deprivation of basic needs and means is smuggling in capitalist baggage.

the state is and has always been an unnecessary imposition which serves the few. while it might be true that it will be a necessary tool in the restoration of sustainable conditions for the people of the world it is absolutely an unnecessary evil which will be outgrown and discarded in the future if civilization gets to have one on a global scale.
