Decentralized governments/leaders in small communties, decentralized power sources, decentralized market, currency and so on. On top, every community gets own decentralized social network.
You just described real life.
I mean in smaller scale than countries.
Anarcho-syndicalism?
Exactly the first thing I thought of after reading the post. OP sounds like they’d enjoy reading about syndicalism.
How would you decentralize physical infrastructure like roads, rail, power lines, sewers etc.? Someone will need to be responsible for maintenance, and you can’t exactly switch out which sewer is connected to your house in case you’re unsatisfied with whoever is running that show. I’m imagining 20 identical roads running in parallel from A to B so people can choose which one to associate with. And a hundred different internets cramming the already limited electromagnetic spectrum we have because there’s no central authority to regulate them.
Everything is already decentralized if you think about. There is no central Earth government.
We may be thinking about what size we want communities to be. My answer is that it depends on the community. Climate change council? Probably needs to be a global community. Street cleaning? City level community. And so on.
