(32,342 posts)46. I'm one of the ones that think things should be a bit more centralized.
For emergencies it's tough to go around to everyone and canvas for opinions. I'd like to think there'd be some game plan in place that others had talked about collectively and agreed on that would then be a "go" for when the situation came up.
That being said, there aren't really any "rule books" about how everything would run in advance. It would be kind of odd to try to just overlay a single idea over every situation and condition that comes up. Things can change really rapidly and it would be cumbersome. No one wants to have something happen like in Albania: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunkers_in_Albania There should be an element of common sense.

We have over a 100 subscribers I think. We are probably one of the most popular groups here.

This actually touches on a larger debate in socialist circles that I won't get too much into

Well you probably wouldn't have a company organized like a capitalist corporation.

Sure it is. Democracy itself is cumbersome at times. Dictatorships are much more efficent.
