So it'd have to be a big revolution in that case or a network of small groups from nearby gathering to a big revolution? Uhm.. I guess with the current mass surveillance and intelligence sharing between agencies would likely stop such thing, unless people were to start using Mesh Networks like I2P considering it'd not be compromised, which if any dev involved on such projects living a country that does it like UK/Australia/NZ/USA would be approached by autorities, not a conspiracy, it happens often and the last time it happened and was publicly shared was with one of the devs of Session (Private E2EE Instant Mess!aging) who then fled to Switzerland. The only chance of intelligence agencies sitting on information about such thing happening and not giving a flying shit would be if it was from within a politically isolated country/extremist oppressive country unless it is capilist then I guess it is what it is. It'd involve so much organized planning which then.. some hierarchy will born even if a decentralized one?
I think the most important factor when it comes to that issue is free association and, like you said, decentralization. Ideally we would see coordination rather than hierarchy; no one has to be in charge- there are simply roles that get filled. There are even guides online
It's my understanding that the US military is as capable as they are on the battlefield largely due to the autonomy each individual unit is granted.
This is where things start to get out of my wheelhouse though, but it seems to me that if enough people want this kind of change, we could make it happen by enough individuals simply pitching in
Wow, thanks for the suggestion, I'll takea read. By the way, when hyperlinking external websites on lemmy, add https:// before the website address so Lemmy knows to redirect to what only is contained within the hyperlink markdown, otherwise it'll hyperlink relative links (e.g. we're on a post so lemmy instance address/post/your relative link, if you were doing it on a community sidebar it'd be on /c/ directory so it'd go to /c/your link - also reminder that redirecting communities from communities sidebar will just double /c/ since it just appends your hyperlink)
In this case: (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/andrew-flood-a-practical-guide-to-anarchist-organisation) instead of (theanarchistlibrary.org/library/andrew-flood-a-practical-guide-to-anarchist-organisation)
I didn't know that about the US Military, that is astonishing to know.
The Anarchist Library is awesome- they have so much great content
Ah cool, thanks for the tip!
