Killers and defectors may cooperate with each other as well. One
consequence of spontaneous order is the "syndicate." When one person
realizes that it is more efficient to kill or steal for resources, you
can be reasonably sure that others are of like mind. Order does not seem
to have any moral connotations other than in relation to moral views
concerning disorder. Spontaneous order may be for the community or
against it.
