Will it be communistic, anarchistic, a limited government, a Welfare State or else? Everybody will most likely agree that the current power elites are highly STS-oriented and that a change would be a positive development for the people on this planet. On the other side, the current situation is also positive in the sense that it offers lots of opportunities for personal growth and service to others.
Personally, I think that such a society would be anarchistic (anarchocapitalistic or anarchopacifistic) because a state is always based on violence, power and submission. All exchanges between people would be voluntary, nobody is forced to be the means of the ends of somebody else.
Very good question and there is very interesting answer:
The STS entities as social group complexes are existing now. Perfect example is vertically perfectly organised pyramid of corruption in russia from very low to very top, which is work in simple way that from very "low" bureaucrats which collect corruption money, they provide specific defined part of what collected to level up, if one of them work perfectly in serving with money or his bureaucracy powers to their "chiefs", one gets opportunity to buy a place in pyramid level-up. More levels up, more money and power they have from down part of pyramid. That how whole apparatus works currently. It selves totally itself - pyramid. It is highly parasitic and currently can not exist without society it parasites on. It is same probably in other countries, but currently in russia it is much open visible - they do not even try to hide their action and relations like in other "western" countries.
