“As government itself falls to pieces, we have often speculated that smaller rather than larger communities might emerge. We are all in favor of this, believing that smaller, flexible social elements are the key to happiness and prosperity. Even within the contexts of large groups, people would likely find that if they can retain communal relationships, the bigness around them would recede. It is when depersonalized bigness is given the authority of law that trouble really begins. When people have power over their lives and input into the larger decision-making process, the alienation and destructiveness of modern society is reduced considerably.”
