All I can thin l can think of that can combat the overly controlling governments and mega-corporations is self sufficiency.
Drive that concept on a urban and city-wide scope and see how society and economics changes!

I agree that self-sufficiency and decentralisation are important, but it's not enough on it's own. Here in the UK, a key focus of the government is to impose more rigid control over the food supply. Control the food supply, and you control the people.
They required all privately-owned chickens to be registered (notionally so they could be culled in the event of a bird flu epidemic.... followed shortly after by a couple of stories in the news that isolated instances of bird flu had been found. They also changed the inheritance rules in a way which over a period of time will eliminate smaller farmers, forcing them to sell to compliant corporate agri-businesses in order to pay the tax on death. Some government think-tanks are now talking about preventing or controlling people growing fruit & vegetables in their gardens.
The English are terrible at revolutions (the last real one was 1645), but they forget that somewhere between a third and a half of the population are now first or second generation immigrants, mostly from countries with a far better history of overthrowing governments. I like the way the French farmers did it, blocking Paris up with tractors and re-decorating municipal buildings and police lines with the help of slurry spreaders 😁
