"and much better prepared for managing those disruptions. managing. controlling. city -> civil -> civilization -> control and domination."

I don't agree with that... It's much easier for cops to know who's-who in smaller towns so when trouble comes around they know who to get. But in a big city with such huge, diverse pool of people that are also very mobile? Unlikely, unless if cell phones are put to full use as pocket snitches.

Now I also get that big cities also are the worst setting for bringing any sort of lasting change to the social relationship, or better... bringing people to radical living infrastructures (like land projects). Many smaller towns got that potential, even if there ain't enough radical activity to attract young people to these different worlds. Big cities are stuck in their own over-civilization, and that's why disruptions, rioting and to some extent activism have been the only successful practices of the past few decades.

So yeah... lame conclusion is that it al depends on what do you wanna achieve. If you're looking for practical collective autonomy me thinks the big city aren't the right place for you (even if like I said earlier, very good places for individual autonomy, as so many resources are available, more than in small towns... but you don't mean much as an individual in such a mass of zombies).
