A couple facts: nature is dangerous, and we are actually nature. Our technology, society, all manmade artifacts are the product of a natural species of the organism life. We are dangerous, and live in a dangerous world, and intraspecific competition is simply a facet of that reality.

While we are a social species, and need to belong to ingroups to fulfill our natural biological imperative, this only means that we are innately impelled to be culturally indoctrinated. Our unique ability to innovate technology includes crafting culture, and sociopathic (i.e. genetically diseased and incapable of proper socialization) individuals have used our natural instincts to herd us into corrals where they can profit from extracting rent from our socialization.

Evolution is not determinism, but simply reflects natural forces' impact on reproduction, creating several potential avenues for specific adaptation over time. Since being parasitized decreases our fitness, centralization by predatory industrialization reduces natural evolution in that direction. Intentionally controlling evolutionary pressure by lawfare is directly preventing this natural tendency today, by reducing the survivability of genes resistant to being corralled and parasitized.

However, physics, not greed, is what determines what technology is possible. Presently, across every field, decentralization is the cutting edge of technological advance, and this directly reduces the power of centralization to parasitize society. Individuals capable of understanding how humanity functions also intentionally can raise their children to resist being parasitized. Centralized indoctrination inculcates domesticated docility into children via the Prussian education model, and most centralized institutions use this to increase their power. Homeschooling and free people increasingly defeat this scheme.

The fact is that we are actually free to associate, free to think, free to act as we will, and, despite evolutionary forces applied by intraspecific competition, the best of us succeed by actively planning to preclude parasitism, which is implemented via many of the mechanisms you outline in the OP.

The current fruition of decentralization of the means of production (delivering those means directly to individuals, rather than institutions) is currently empowering individuals resistant to parasitization to an unprecedented degree, and every act of production by an individual retains the economic benefits of that act exclusively to the producer, eliminating rent, or the transfer of wealth to centralized parasitic pools of capital that are created via industrial mechanisms, whether capitalist, communist, or any centralized cultural mechanism.

The truth is that we are free, and the universe actually is designed to empower individuals to work together cooperatively to resist parasitic predation by organised/centralized sociopaths. We can fail to successfully plan to avoid predation, and this is simply evolutionary pressure; Darwinism in action. The same goes for those that are incompetent to resist parasitism by being so susceptible to instinct alone that they are unaware of their chattelization.

The best of us aren't sociopaths, aren't cattle, and are competent to encrypt our freedom to preclude lawfare designed to prevent our passing on our genes to successful offspring. The universe is on the side of freedom, and technology presently is become a weapon against parasitic rentiers.

Nature is decentralized; messy, redundant, and robust. Centralized institutions are neat, efficient, and fragile. This is why natural ecosystems are competent to survive catastrophe and rebound, producing verdant, fecund ecosystems from those species able to survive. This is why people so often experience catastrophic intraspecific competition (war, tyranny) and societies quickly rebound afterwards, only to be again subjected to parasitism, leading again to catastrophe. This is why freedom is always the best societal mechanism, and why decentralization is inevitable.

We are really free, and have actual enemies. Plan accordingly. Institutions are centralization, and the enemy of freedom in every aspect. Free individuals (families) naturally work together like shoals of fish to nimbly defend themselves from predation, and this is the strongest natural force affecting human evolution, despite the greed of sociopaths trying to breed domesticated cattle.

Be free. Be smart. Be the future.
