"Since at least 99.9% of all existing self-identifying communities and even theoretical proposals for communities are beholden to states, councils, committees, voter bodies and other forms of rulership, it's safe to say the community ideal in itself is just another vessel of authority.

If all organized communities on the planet can be clearly demonstrated to be authority-based, then it's a safe bet that the entire concept of community is authority-forming"

This is faulty logic. Let's deploy it in another way:

"Since at least 99.9% of all human life and even theoretical proposals for communities are beholden to states, councils, committees, voter bodies and other forms of rulership, it's safe to say the human life in itself is just another vessel of authority."

You all disparaging community sound like the avant-garde of technocracy which inherently wants to isolate us. Plus, it sounds like a lonely bummer. Do you folks not have friends you're trying to live and figure out life with? How sad.
