Military, Militia, whatever the word it is, any society need a force to defend against external threats. I’m not sure how co-ordiantion would work while not being authoritarian and thus inadvetently create a state.

    It wouldn’t work.

    In order to have a military, you’d have to have at least one or more dedicated people, those people would need to be supported with resources and given that it’s a stateless society there’s zero chance that enough people would voluntarily choose to help them to allow them to operate effectively outside of a wartime event without requiring some sort of payment from everyone and then you’re back to having a state.
