Decentralized microcommunities is how people interacted for the vast majority of existing. Only recent, after settling down, feudalism, growing cities, and the last blip —globalization—, moved us towards centralization. If anything, humans are great at managing small communities, and very bad at operating in a large, centralized, globalized world. Radicalism is often a product of that globalization, and would be unable to exist in a hunter-gatherer tribal system of small moving groups.
