I did an interesting project in uni on whether the state can exist without violence. I discovered there are many tribal communities without violence or prisoners. They use public shaming instead. The problem is scaling this to a large enough scale of modern states.
The other problem is sociopaths and psychopaths. It seems clear that at least in the US, some leaders are severed mentally imbalanced, which means they feel no shame. Without shame, public shaming is meaningless.
