Reflexión sobre los conceptos y teorías sobre la organización social sin estado desde la perspectiva de la antropología

Traditional anthropology has defined savage or civilized societies through the existence or not of the state. Overcoming this concept and relativizing the supposed superiority of civilization, this work has systematized several reflections and considerations in the field of political anthropology with the objective of defining if it is possible to manage a complex society, that is to say, a society with thousands or millions of inhabitants by means of a group of institutions that are not centralized in a state apparatus, a sort of contemporary egalitarian society. For this, it has been necessary to review anthropological theory, politics and also history to conceptually establish what a State is, what are the causes of its appearance and how it is sustained and consolidated. In addition, the comparison of case studies and "natural experiments" of the present and the past has made it possible to propose, taking as the main reference the egalitarian organization of the so-called savage peoples, a series of areas on which methods can put into effect that would allow to enforce a complex society without a State. A road has been preliminarily outlined for the denaturation of the state, which would be destroyed by losing its function of guaranteeing the oppression of one class over the other. All this through the collective and democratic management of power in the first place-understood as the ability to decide and execute decisions-, knowledge production and conflict management-so that mankind can better manage resources- and human relations, especially the relationship between humans and nature.
