yeah, I'm also a bit anti-authoritarian, so I feel smaller community initiatives shares power more, with less of it concentrated in power brokers who's only goal is money and power, and thus gives a little boost to more people willing to work for it as volunteers, or coop members, or part of the local community efforts. A balanced society as you say, can only come from something that's not capitalism or communism both of which are authoritarian or oligarchical at the very least. Ancom, I think is the best solution with the least amount of friction. I mean all it requires to get started is for people to form a union, start some union-owned businesses, put the profits back into healthcare for all members of the union. Anyone can become a member who wants to (might have a dues though), then they'd be encourage to buy from union businesses, who will in turn use that $$ to pay medical bills for all union members. If there's surplus everyone gets dividends, and workers get big bonuses.
