I don't have any sources to cite, so I can't keep this on the article page through proof; but in my experience, some groups seem to be mutual aid between charity organizations and don't form reciprocal community relations. They ask for volunteers who may get nothing out of the work and do not oppose the system that created the scarcity at all. Specifically, I'm talking about the Georgia Athens Mutual Aid Network ("AMAN"). "Athens Mutual Aid Network is a coalition of Athens organizations ... coming together to support the most vulnerable.... We aim to ... advocate for critical policy actions to address unmet needs." [1] They also rely on donations. Therefore, they violate a couple facets of anti-authoritarian mutual aid mentioned on the article page: "charity differentiates those who have from those who need" and "Whereas the charity funding model relies on the donations of rich individuals ..., mutual aid utilizes the resources available in their communities, often creatively seeking free supplies." This mutual aid between nonprofits rather than individuals makes sense if you know that the government also practices mutual aid; fire departments help each other and call it mutual aid, and when the national guard helped the Athens police, the police chief called it mutual aid. [2] Pittsburgh Mutual Aid looks similar to AMAN; it's "mutual aid", but it might not challenge the dominant paradigm. Ketef ( talk) 10:44, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Grnrchst Despite the section on military soldiers not directly mentioning the term "mutual aid," what is described is horizontal networks of assistance, in fact this was described clearly throughout the text. I moved the section to Soldier and created a motivation section, yet despite this it is a description of mutual aid in times of war. Des Vallee ( talk) 11:01, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
During World War I the end of the war most state institutions of the Central powers began to fail, in place of this local mutual aid organizations began to serve the various nationalities of the central powers, this in turn led to increasing nationalism most prevalent in Austria-Hungary. During the Eastern Front of WWI socialist organizations began to replace the normal administrative functions of the state which in turn led to an upsurge of support of various Russian left-wing organizations including anarchists, Bolsheviks and Menshiviks.
During periods of war or extreme conflict mutual aid becomes one of the main methods of organizations as to state institutions are overwhelmed or collapse. Examples include the Blitz of World War 2,
the eastern front in the USSR, the Nanjing Safety Zone in China, and Revolutionary Catalonia.
During these periods of extreme conflict communities generally organize around mutual interest, this in turn can create Social dynamics of resistance exemplified in the " Blitz Spirit". Soldiers in war have often created mutual aid networks, during wars such as WWI, the Vietnam war soldiers have reported not fighting for any national interests or ideological goal but commonly the friendship and connection with their other soldiers.
