    The community would be the police, how can they rule over themselves as a gang if they already are in charge of themselves?

    Please think things through a bit more before reacting.

      Because they take shifts and if they refuse to hand over authority then they’re now permanently in charge and will use force to regulate the rest of you.

      It’s called a “power vacuum” where in the absence of authority humans have always immediately created a new hierarchy, in some cases a democratic republic and in other cases a militaristic autocracy and everything in between.

        lol.

        “We refuse to leave our shift, we’re going to own you”

        “But we’re also as equally armed as you?”

        “Oh, but but your shift is over you can’t defend yourself!”

          Are they as equally armed as you? Are they also equal in number to your household? They also don’t have a “quarantine” to hold people, then? In that case, wouldn’t they fail to enforce anything in the first place?
