Unfortunately it falls apart when put to the test of human nature like most other political theories. The fact is it is in human nature to have some people who want to be dominant over others and to have social structures. We see it in nature all the time. We need a little more interference with the natural order in order to bring about equality, but it goes a bit deeper than any single large bureaucratic organization like government can deal with. I think we need more independent organizations around to keep government in check while it keeps the more rowdy individuals in check.
