Disorganization - A Virtue


Take a look around, there's high currency for organization and we tell ourselves that it is with good reason. Labourers organize themselves into unions to bargain for better working conditions. Religions are organized to propagate faster and wider. Criminals form syndicates to replicate, though mostly unknowingly, the Japanese Keiretsu. The underlying theme being the binding together of assumingly lesser mortals and achieve feats which they supposedly can't as individuals.

Look into those organizations a little deeper and Marxists will gleefully point out the rampant alienation of the individual units of the organization. What organizations actually achieve is a surrender of individual decision making to a higher purpose. But mind you, those decisions will have to be and will be made just not by the worker on the field but by someone so high up the chain that they haven't been on the field for years.

History shows us that even the greatest of conquerors were humbled by the vast expanses of their kingdoms and divided them into fiefdoms which were subsequently divided into villages.
This deliberate disorganization of an organization appears to be the natural successor of centralisation or rather organization.
Unchecked disorganization can be a perilous affair too, as medieval India found out when the British came knocking. Therefore, it would be beneficial to have common goals but it should not be enforced by making us all wear the same uniforms.
