Ah, I see. I like what banksy had to say about those kinds of ads

I was referring to the watermark lol (bottom right of the image)

Personally wish it said

No.

You racist shite.

Edit:

The Anarchist Library is awesome- they have so much great content

Ah cool, thanks for the tip!

It does! English is in the minority on the adjective-noun order lol

I think the most important factor when it comes to that issue is free association and, like you said, decentralization. Ideally we would see coordination rather than hierarchy; no one has to be in charge- there are simply roles that get filled. There are even guides online

It's my understanding that the US military is as capable as they are on the battlefield largely due to the autonomy each individual unit is granted.

This is where things start to get out of my wheelhouse though, but it seems to me that if enough people want this kind of change, we could make it happen by enough individuals simply pitching in

I'd imagine the same and only way we could get there in the first place- mutual aid and violence

Edit: I've been enjoying this thread, so thanks for that! Been a long time since I've gotten this deep into discussing these things, and I like it

But it is closer than people living in capitalist countries are, correct?

Closer to anarchism? I don't think so. Closer to everyone's needs being met and having freedom? Yes, I'd say so.

I guess it is sort of a progress at least (if it is, maybe I'm thinking the wrong way?)

It sounds like you're a pragmatist, and that's valid, but most anarchists are considered idealists, which seems to be where the 'disconnect' is (using that term lightly)

also do you mean society as a whole as in the whole world to be cashless or countries since it'd be a less radical change, and if so, wouldn't these cashless societies become targets of the rest of the world?

'Idealists' like myself catch a lot of flak over this exact issue. To me, it's largely a matter of principle, so I think we should do it anyway. I feel strongly that it isn't our responsibility to make sure every base is covered before making revolutionary change.

I believe that hierarchy is bad, so we should get rid of it. Yes, that then makes us a target for new oppressors, but we're only not a target now because we already have oppressors

I translated photofunky.net as if it were French lol. "Photo funky" is how you would say "funky photo" in French. And net is a word in both languages too, so I just went with a different meaning for the joke

Nice try, fed!

Jk, but this isn't an anonymous account, so I can't go into much detail on the praxis/direct action side of things. I will say that, as I believe the state, its laws, and its enforcers(cops, etc) are illegitimate, I give them no bearing on my behavior (i.e., I disregard laws (I'm not a sovcit though- I understand the consequences)). Similarly, I believe healthcare should be free, so I don't pay my medical bills; I believe food should be free, so 𝚁𝙴𝙳𝙰𝙲𝚃𝙴𝙳; and so on, though those are more egoist examples.

A few interpersonal examples that come to mind:

As a therapist, the first thing I always do with a new minor client is clarify that they absolutely do not have to participate. I also discuss involuntary committal with new clients, and seek their consent ahead of time to make that decision for them should it come to it, and if they decline then that's that as far as I'm concerned.

I practice relationship anarchy, so I place no restrictions on my partner, and our resources are pooled.

I even avoid exerting authority/power over non-human animals if I can avoid it, including our cat and even insects and such- basically I don't touch them unless they come to me, and I also follow a vegan lifestyle.
