I agree that it's a very interesting idea, and seemingly has a lot of potential, but if the discussion in this thread is anything to go by, has some pretty obvious limitations: politics.

There's no technological cure for politics because its limits are inherent, just like capitalism can't reform itself and stop destroying itself, humanity, and the natural world; the inherent logic of the system is the limitation of the system.

The question then is, can a community exist free from politics, hierarchical structures, and class warfare, and if so, then can it avoid becoming a cartel/political party, and eventually a state?

Game theory says no, and history is absolutely littered with negative evidence, but given the right incentives could it be possible? I would lean towards no, but you gotta have hope I guess.
