By monopoly of force, are you referring to the military and police? Or are you referring more broadly to authority and the capacity to influence people even if it is against their will? Even if we have a society of highly conscious people who are dedicated towards 'win-win' scenarios, I just don't see answers to our problems that accommodate the wishes of all people and some mechanism of final authority has to be in place whether it is democracy or oligarchy or what have you.
