Right so instead we should take one of those 100 people and give them the power of violence to take all the coconuts and distribute as they see fit.
Likely to their friends and family.
So we end up with the same scenario again, inequality persists only this time it’s because of a centralized authority figure that now has a monopoly on violence.

We take all the coconuts, gather all the people, and work to come to a decision. Or are you saying you need someone to tell you what to do, and you'd rather it be the guy that got rich off everyone else than someone randomly chosen? I can understand that at least, although I still disagree.
