The tribe is nomads' social organization. Nomads do not exist without their tribe. The degree of heterogeneity of the tribe determines its aptitude to change.
Tribes, as rhizomes, are consensual
units united by what Deleuze
calls a "plan of consistency". Their internal cohesiveness
is sustained by, and relies on, collective
ownership and participation.
As micro-entities, tribes need to resist
centralizing pressure from larger entities. Tribes do not want to impose their
ways to other tribes, but are ready to
fight to defend their own path.
