According to David Wengrow and David Graeber's book, Dawn of Everything, archeological evidences shows that human societies were extremely egalitarian for most of their existence (hundreds of thousands of years), and only fairly recently in human history did we start to become coercive and authoritarian.
The current dominating forms of society are an aberration from the norm, but it appears our natural state is cooperation and mutual aid, and there's nothing suggesting we can't structure our societies to let us return to that state of being, which is essentially what Anarchists have been attempting to achieve for the last couple hundred years, nearly succeeding a couple times.
