Hello, Joshua.
Thank you for making this post, and I would be happy to share a little of how I feel about the topic.

To preface, it appears that these comments might be filled with pseudo-intellectuals that are want of confidence - seeing that many fail to engage with the question, and resort to condescension. It is a shame, and we may take pity on them.

I must be honest when I do not relate to the "end times" notion axiomatically - I have felt both disillusioned with these times, perhaps due to the nature of the "crisis of meaning" in my generation. Yet, these times have also granted me great personal satisfaction in finding that meaning - civil unrest gives me hope that discussions like these - the wood to craft an allegorical "post-apocalyptic fire" - will become more common and formative. Those discussions may then lead to some great change, the collapse of society into something perhaps, more beautiful.

To climb into the post-apocalyptic framework should be a fun venture nonetheless. I have been thinking about recently the reconciliation between anti-capitalism and community. Please excuse my relative departure from traditional philosophy into the scary, watered down realm of political theory - yet much of my frameworks in this regard are rooted in some sort of an understanding of scientific socialism, where my questions exist in the path of "okay if the dialectics are true, so what now?" It appears, if we look to those proto-communist societies on the dialectic - the early-Vietnamese, the North American Native Americans, and so on - that persisted despite their locational competitors, there had existed a strong connection to family, equal labor between the sexes, and whatnot. Things like this that perpetuated a sense of non-nuclear, holistic family, was not only enshrined in recorded history of the matter, but in their own religions and philosophies. We see after the privatization of property, and thus the crafting of laws and state to protect that construct, it was organized religion that replaced the holistic community when estates divided individuals into blood families. Now, we see less and less of religious individuals, if anything, a meager increase in individuals becoming "religious" for the inclusion into an unconditional community.

Perhaps it is the case, that upon the the collapse of our current society - whether that leads to a new, unforeseen stage of the dialectic, or the end of the dialectic altogether - there will be a return to the form of community that existed before our material dialectic. We can only hope. For thinkers that saw this as a reality - consider Kropotkin, as it is more of an anarchist vision. It is no doubt that the more Leninist of the bunch failed to reasonably address the pragmatics of community-based socialist societies, however that may exist dialectically. Heck, even Ho Chi Minh didn't see such a thing realized. As far as laying the groundwork to arguing that this will happen, it would take many miles, to prove that it should happen, it would take even more.

The thought of decentralized communities, finding the systemic abolition of all constructs that cause unreconcilable conflict realized, has not only gotten me through the nihilism of macro and micro-scale crisis of society, but given me a hope of what beauty could be attained.

I ought stop before I ramble too long.

Thank you for the question, Joshua.
