"DOMINATION SYSTEM" is a term describing the basic fear-based mentality and practice whereby one individual (or group/segment) controls a different individual (or group/segment), or worse, one group/segment controlling ALL other groups/individuals in the context of society. The domination system is all-too-common in human societies, but should be an unnecessary practice, since adult humans have the capacity to live and relate to each other on a more egalitarian basis--without the need to control other peers.

When acting in their elemental best form, HUMANS have 4 traits distinguishing them from non-humans:

1. creating and/or perpetuating different kinds of social/cultural structures and institutions that live beyond the specific lives of the individuals involved
2. a particular ability to RAPIDLY control the environment,
3. special pathologies even in the realm of technological manipulation that can bring complete annihilation.
4. intentional hyper-concientious divine connections to facilitate miracles to purposely benefit other creatures and species.

On an individual basis, one can remove oneself from society and practice the 4 traits above, but humans are social creatures, so they (we) tend to operate BEST in social contexts, and can create many systems to practice. In contrast to any domination system, permaculture, lovearchy, mutual aid, etc. are NON-dominative, and apparently happier and more sustainable systems which utilize the unique great abilities of the human species to organize and consolidate resources for the betterment of as many creatures as possible, without violence or coercion.
