But what exactly do you mean by 'community'? A country, or a city, after
all, are communities in a sense.

It's almost like saying the best form of organization is organization.

You could perhaps just mean a community that is voluntarily created,
i.e. not forced on an individual by the threat of violence. That's good,
but - arguably - companies and corporations are also communities in this
sense. I think the terms need clearer definitions (or perhaps they are
implicit and I'm just missing them).

How about an analogy: one guy far in the past discovered how to make
fire. (He didn't invent fire, he just discovered a mechanism to make it
- maybe Satoshi can be seen the same way). Is the success of fire the
result of the daily work of the fire community?
I think not.
