"... there's no way to have a stateless society without equality that doesn't turn into mad max style ravaging."

You say this from zero evidence. You believe it though it is demonstrably unproved. Further, I am convinced that personal security is presently being developed such that institutional power will become obsolete. When gangs of thugs cannot use force to take power or wealth from secure individuals, and neither can individuals, 'Mad Max ravaging' is just as obsolete as totalitarian collectivism.

No capital necessary. Just modern tech deployed rationally to secure one's person and property, with a bit of community mutual support preferable.
