    You surely mean populist wankers? Anarchism while supposed to become while preserving order, how fucking could it? Without centrally organized hierarchy there is no laws, no organized institutions, no naught!

      If you’re not a populist you’re an enemy of the people.

      Furthermore anarchism is not disorganised random people doing whatever they want. Look at the Zapatistas for a perfect example of how people can organise and work together as a society without hierarchy.

      I disagree but regardless, we aren’t necessarily discussing a violent revolution that immediately and instantly destroys capitalism and the state. Frankly, that is a distant possibility at this point and I’m not really convinced it’s a good strategy even if it was possible.

      But it’s undeniable that direct action, mutual aid, and horizontal organizing can be an effective counter to growing authoritarianism. There are countless examples from history and recent times.

      My hope is that as we begin to build these structures at local scales, we learn more about the best practices to create these types of organizations, and the ones that work will grow in size and influence, displacing violent, hierarchical structures. A sort of evolutionary rather than revolutionary process, but still arriving at the same end eventually.
