Concentrations of power is made from the greed of people. Honestly, I beliefe that any sufficiently large society will eventually fall into capitalism, and the other way around, capitalism encourages border-less states, making effectively bigger communities.

However, with the current economic trend of de-globalization, things may eventually change.

Trend of de-globalization? If anything things are more global then ever…

I'd agree, but I think public sentiment for globalization is souring. Right wing populists have been gaining in elections the last 10 years because of this, running largely anti-immigration and economically protectionist. I think they're predicting a future reduction in globalization based on this.

so what is needed is a system that doesn't allow the concentration of power into one entity that is using this power for personal benefit.
