Rev, you're beginning to remind me of the nutty communists in Berkeley who spin me fantastical tales of the post-fascist-capitalist world. All hyperbole with questionable links.
Furthermore, anyone who observes our closest relatives, the chimpanzees, would note that for a loosely affiliate clan-structured society (much like yours and Sae's ridiculous anarchist-syndicates), it has a tendency of oscillating between status quo and incredible bouts of violence. Indeed, a comparison between developing human societies and industrialized countries does show a consistent shift from clan-based organizations to large scale societies (governments).
No one in their right mind would state that the long term societal organization of pre-15th century Bedouins (chosen as an archetype of clan-based) is a blue print for a civilization, yet the same is put forth by you.
In any case, all you advocate is merely an offset of power, not an elimination. Whether said power is in the hands of a society (the government) or some clan-like organization (syndicates). Furthermore, you always get power concentrated into the hands of the few.
Why?
Probably for the same fucking reason chimpanzees build alliances, temporary and long term. They scheme and accumulate power as well within their societies, often comprising powerful "families".
If the chimps are doing that, what makes you think we'll transcend our basic nature? We're much more likely to embrace it.
