Institutions such as governments are no fun to deal with, and I'm sure that's especially true if you are dependent on them to survive. What would you suggest as an alternative?
I'm no expert in giving solutions on situations this complex. There could be various ways of doing autonomous communities. People should be able to organize and manage communities based off their ideologies, instead of obeying to a general enforcement. There's a larger chance, that autonomous communities may have more economic and innovative ways of solving conflicts and doing collaboration/cooperation between each other or within their own hierarchy.
