Listen. I’m far from the worst human out there. But if I was introduced to a fair, classless, equal society, I would become their dictator faster than you can say “utopia”. No force to stop me, no one allowed to stop me, I’d be like smallpox to the Indians.
Well I’d start by taking people’s stuff. Then I’d say, “hey, I’ll give you some of your stuff back if you help me go take that guy’s things and give me half”. Then I’d proceed in this fashion until I have a group of people who can take whatever they want. Then I’d be able to start ordering people to do things.
If at any point anyone tells me “hey you can’t do that” then I’d just get a group of people to hurt or kill them.
They would then get together a group of people to try and stop me.
Then the rest of people would start to pick sides aaaaand ah fuck we have a rudimentary government. And war and social stratification.
So you’d start off by getting shot? Or do you think people are just going to give you their stuff?
Problem solved.
Even if you managed to somehow get a group of people to follow you (why would they want to?), you’re now in a state of war. Look up the Zapatistas in Mexico and their conflict with the cartels for an example of why you won’t win.
You’re approaching this like you’re a villain from the walking dead, real life is a bit more complicated than you ‘well I’d just get an army and win’ mentality.
It’s an equal society, so if they have a gun, I have a gun. So I’d shoot them first. Or I’d point the gun at them and tell them to drop their gun and then do what I told them to if they don’t want to get shot.

Hahaha imagine thinking no one would stop you. You’re an utter clown.
Well then it’s no longer fair, equal, and classless, is it?
Yes it is.
It does not mean you do nothing to protect your way of life and sit back like a hapless pacifist.
Ok. I try to take control. Who stops me?
Everybody, anybody?
How do you think you’re going to magically take control? You’ll just rock up to a community and say “I’m your leader now muahaha”?
