>>1648240Neo-Feudalistic communes might become increasingly viable options as economic decline in the US continues. There would still be hierarchy and a elite ruling over your commune, but at least they will be local and accessible (you can walk down the road to talk to them directly to voice your concerns rather than the current situation where the ruling elite is obfuscated and therefore unaccountable). It could turn out to be rather interesting and pretty comfy with the right people involved and efficient implementation of technological advancements in innovative ways (i.e. solar power, automated farming techniques, cellular agriculture, cultured meat, etc.). Having a close knit self sufficient local community to rely on that lives much closer to nature would certainly be less alienating than the current wage slavery system and would more closely resemble the tribal environment that humans are naturally adapted to and have spent the vast majority of their existence as a species living in.
