Yes I agree, which makes a traditional hierarchical organisation impossible. It would need to have a consensus mechanism comprised of individuals or small cells.
There can't be a single head of the snake, there should be thousands. You could even model some of it on government bureaucracies...a powerful organisation that has accountability only to it's own members, but not to the general populace.
Essentially it could operate like a parallel government, but with voluntary membership. There could be competing organisations as well.
It's a very interesting topic, but I think any discussions that go beyond mutual aid and venture into retribution need to be had elsewhere.
OK, how about the capability of imposing a cost, but not the execution.
In the Prisoners Dilemma, if the counter party knows that they will face no retaliation, they will defect every time, at the expense of the other prisoner. Doing the wrong thing is the only logical choice if you face no consequences. This is the situation a non-billionaire faces today.
I'm all for coordinated withdrawal of support and I'm even more for coordinated support for better alternatives.
This sounds like exactly the kind of activity that should not be coordinated out in the open.
