they misalign because each atom is repelled by the others (equal poles repel each other, so when aligned they are in a constant state of repulsion

I'm not sure this is true. When aligned, aren't all the domains lined up north to south, which would be a state of attraction?

There's still atom-to-arom repulsion because of electron shells (that are negatovely charged) and attraction because of electron pairs forming a crystal bond, and other factors I don't know about.

My explaination is a gross oversimplification, and crystal chemistry is hard, but it should give a hint of what is going on.
