>The big question is can we have a functioning society with less human domination and how far can we reduce it?

No, not with any scale. This has been tried and tried and tried. It's a nice idea, but like most of leftism, only works on paper.

I wish the people that argue for things like the destruction of the family would instead push for universal healthcare. That's at least doable.

Big jump from "less human domination" to "destruction of the family" that you're making.

I'm talking about stuff like this, rhetoric that's common in anarchist communities: https://www.instagram.com/p/CmUY0cjKsIE/

Humans are hierarchical creatures. It's emergent behavior, not forced upon us.

I'm pretty active in anarchist (of the left-leaning variety) spaces and this is literally the first I've heard of family-abolitionism. That doesn't necessarily mean it ain't common, to be clear, but it does mean that this assertion that it is "common in anarchist communities" should probably be taken with a neighborhood-clearing and hydrostatically-equilibrious grain of salt.

At most, I've encountered calls to abolish the dependence on traditional family structures, in particular the assumption of a "nuclear family" baked into a lot of societal interactions. That doesn't mean abolishing families (nuclear or otherwise) themselves, but rather making it so that people who lack familial support systems (nuclear or otherwise) are not disadvantaged as a result of that lack.

Thinking your own family members are more important than others in the community leads to hierarchy.
