I do not think it is possible - it is like a perpetual motion machine,
nice idea but impossible to achive.  So while wasting time, energy and
resources on trying to built something that cannot be built, instead of
using them more efficiently, e.g. by restraiining the excessive power of
selected institutions?

Btw, I used be an anarchist, but I got turned off by its inherent
individualism as a result of my US experience.  Methinks excessive
individualism is one of the main root causes of  most social and
political problems in this country.
