as anarchism is kinda a weird idea

I see

and one that really is only attractive in today's society

rather than in a historic communist one

like today we can easily imagine automated systems doing a lot of cool stuff

but back then?

Is there any effective way for you guys to rise in power and stay?

like legit most people were farmers and working in factories

the only way to really do that would be to go against anarchism

since the whole point is to *not* have a coercive violent government enforcing it's will

this is why IMO the best solution is to instead focus on building alternatives

rather than trying to fuck with the existing stuff

maybe make nonprofit organizations that help push anarchist causes

do anarchist acts even if illegal

etc

I see

digitally this is really easy

we have stuff like scihub and torrents

that help share knowledge and media to all

copyright is a very easy thing to reject

we've also got censorship resistent distributed networks and infrastructure

so things like website takedowns can't happen

the hardware for the internet is still reliant on the statist+capitalist one, but mesh networks are being built that avoid that

and I mentioned earlier about electricity and solar power and all that

If no one owns anything, how would internet work?

it's a complicated question

so as it stands the anarchist idea of using things that exist, is that people should be free to use them if they please and see fit

so building systems around that is the goal

a modern day example would be those bikes and cars you pay to use and then park when you're done and someone else can pay and use them

or something like public transportation

I see

just remove the payment models and pretend no one owns them

for the internet, it's structured using routers and wires/wireless connections

and then we have individual devices connect to it

so basically we've have nodes, similar to how cell towers are

that anyone can connect to

and those nodes would connect to each other in a decentralized/distributed way

the structure of the network is called a mesh network

there's no central authority to ask where to route the packets

so if one node goes bad, the system still works

And if someone steals the car? would that be considered "hurting anarchism" and you guys would use violence to get the car back?
