I Refuse a Political Affiliation

What am I? Could tribalist or anarcho-tribalist be a good definition?

I dislike more and more state intervention, and big nations. I believe the best way to organise a society is through small tribes (500 people maximum), small and HOMOGENEOUS, with similar beliefs, morals, traditions, culture. They would choose some kind of council (that would be a true democracy since everyone knows everybody else) and knows who are the most suitable.

That council will organise the way to provide basic services to every family (health, education, a house with a garden to grow food, water, electricity...). Those communities would not be isolated from each others, members of local councils could make ties with other like-minded tribes for common projects

I know this model sounds quite utopic in a world that tends so much towards centralisation and big empires. There is a lot to be destroyed first in order to create this new model.

Ok so suppose one year there is like a fire and most of our tribes crops burn down, what happens now?

The tribe leaders may provide ways to prevent them from happening. Tribalism does not mean that buildinga must be built with wood. On the contrary, technologies like solar panels or 3-D printers may help a lot

But suppose the wheat field burns

Then they could ask for help from another tribes. If it is denied, war is never justified. Time to look for the food somewhere else.

Does each tribe own exclusive rites to the land they call theirs?
Cierzo · M
Exclusive rites? Yes, they do.

That's when we need to come together and rebuild instead of gullible finger pointing. That is what fucked up humanity in the first place.
