In the entirety of sentient human existence there have been only two global Systems.
Our current System, named Civitas by the Romans and that we call the State, leads us to oblivion via massive inequality and resource destruction. Its trajectory demonstrates that it cannot meaningfully reform nor be reformed
Failing the invention of a new system that has by definition no track record of success, this leaves us with the remaining option of revisiting our previous System.
This System, because it was universal and evolved entirely organically, had no name, and so the Romans named it Societas, what we call Society.
Society is not just a vague concept. It is in itself a system.
Societas was practiced the World over by ancient cultures who, as demonstrated by Lewis Morgan in Systems of Consanguinity, operated under exactly the same arrangement as all other cultures, with only minor variations related to resource availability. These societal structures are specific. They are social structure which, within themselves, also contain political structure. In other words, within our societal structure we have the means to exercise power.
This system provides us with far, far greater levels of equality and importantly, sustainability, halting our journey towards environmental catastrophe and mass extinction.
Which leaves us with the task of recreating Society, not in its currently vague conceptual form but in its true and actual form.
I lay out the mechanics of this process in Word of an Other Nature.
