Maybe /u/mangora is speaking euphemistically? More along the lines of the control that people allow themselves to be influenced by. It wouldn't remove the physicality of its existence, but it's unwarranted and unjust rule.

The point is, it has no physicality beyond the people who participate in it. The buildings mean nothing without people operating them.

Most likely he/she is. But I guess my problem with the proposition is more with the verbage of "believing", than (the) "exist" part.

I am not sure I see the connection between beliefs and "existence."

My point is it's a social structure and only exists because of the actions of humans, which arise from the beliefs that we hold.
