Not sure how popular this would be, but I think municipalism makes more sense in this day and age than states, especially considering how states are currently set up in the US (mostly from the legacy of slavery). Planning at the community/town/city level just seems to make more sense to me as a coherent social/geographic basis for organization and planning. States, on the other hand, are all over the place. Texas is basically 5 very different states in one, as is California. Why do we have two Dakotas? Also, why does Wyoming even exist (no offense)?
Super down for a municipalist framework. Perhaps loosely-organized associations of nearby cities to replace states? No real legislative power, but sort of a diplomatic group where you can air grievances and forge agreements with other cities.

Hey some of the most direct political structure marx voiced support for were some form of federated communes.
