Agorism and anarchism are just decentralization taken to its limit. There's no appetite for that amongst the public, though. However, populism might latch onto state and local autonomy movements.
Ah yes, those lovely limits!! Populism may be a good first step in that direction, but, I think that there will be a lot of collapsing very suddenly, real soon now. Agorism and anarchy may be the natural result of the grand collapse. But I think that this is a white pill not a black pill. Do you think those conditions might obtain?

It probably depends on exactly where you are. My impression has been that state and local institutions are fairly robust (not that they're good) compared to federal. I would expect the states and cities I'm most familiar with to continue on more or less like normal, if the national government falls apart.

whooo!!! I am more familiar with the corrupt type at the local and state level. A good example of this is Walz.

All the stuff that ordinary people think of as "working" when it comes to government and encounter in their daily lives happen at these levels: police, schools, roads, etc.
You're right that people are also more familiar with the corruption at these levels, too. All I'm saying is that I think these institutions will continue to persist, because people perceive them as part of their community in a way they do not perceive the FBI or USDA.
