It had to be divided. It became ungovernable. I certainly don't think we need more centralized government. That is scary and I know there is some people out there that think there needs to be a super centralized government for the world, etc. UGH. That would be awful.

What do you think? Is there a way for their to be localism now? Small communities getting together, working the land, growing their own crops, etc. It isn't just government that needs decentralizing. Corporations also need to be.

I like it too, it would mean a more active and direct participation of the people in their government and also make the rulers have little power, and then just work on their function.

However, localism presents the a small flaw: if you have little land you'll have little resources to give your people.
