Build your "structure outside the political system" and wait until the first discussion where someone wants to impact someone else. Boom, it's a political system again! Can't have a few hundred million people without various governments forming, de facto or explicit. And frankly the idea of a society without any kind of regulatory bodies is a nightmare.
By political system, I mean the current electoral system (to be clear, I advocate voting for the lesser evil/harm reduction).
Personally, I'd advocate a new form of horizontal, decentralized form of power instead of one big one that is easily corruptable.
There's nothing preventing regulatory bodies from being formed, nor the ability to have conflict resolution. If you're curious to see the sorta thing I'm imaging happening in reality, I'd recommend taking a look at Catalonia during the Spanish Civil war, and more currently, Rojava (though I don't fully agree with everything, I think its a big step in the right direction).
