Decentralized organizations or decentralization often emerges spontaneously and quickly during a social crisis. Organizations that follow decentralized principles and whose structure aims to level power between team members leave great autonomy to activists. Movements that come from the most decentralization are those that are uncoordinated and that spread spontaneously during a crisis. It is possible that this is subsequently (more or less) coordinated by a group that emerges from the movement. It will then be slightly centralized (as soon as there is coordination, there is a form of centralization). -This is an Uprising by Paul and Mark Engler and the HUB
