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
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?
likewise, since it's a share system, people have more incentive to keep it running
well the concept of "stealing" isn't a thing in anarchism
so say someone takes the car and uses it
they drive it somewhere
eventually they will get out of the car
and when they do, someone else may use it
the only way to prevent that is physical violence
