Decentralization
The (more) decentralized organization model we often see emerge spontaneously and quickly during a social crisis. Organization whose components and/or structure are decentralized, leaving great autonomy to activists. This characteristic can act as a motivating agent. The movements that come from the most decentralized organization 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).
Example: Black Lives Matter (protests) >> Movement for Black Lives (distributed organization)
