I am sure there is a ton of interesting stories like this about self organisation when the state collapses, created by the end of the Soviet Union. I wonder if anyone has ever bothered to capture and document this type of emergent behaviour, and whether it most mostly cooperative and peaceful, or whether it tended to violence and confrontational. These types of widespread government changes are not that common, and I'm sure there are a lot of lessons to be gained.

- sologoub 11y agoThat blog is probably as far away from positive experiences as one can be! Just wasted 10 minutes reading about the impending collapse of US... I'm pretty sure the original comment was meant to gather experiences of positive self-organization results and not doom'n'gloom rhetoric.
- brc 11y agoYes. One does not have to venture far to find a 'we're all ruined' article. I was more interested in finding small scale examples of how communities react when a central government essentially ceases to function. Not a preppers screed (i haven't looked at the link)
