    Well apparently you’ve never listened to Against Me! back in the day and in your early 20s having fun talking about anarchy you never read anything on the theory behind it.

    You really should.

    Because all of the things you described you and your wife doing are the cornerstones of anarchism. Literally the most basic building block. So you are seriously uninformed and you don’t realize how much you actually agree with anarchism.

      “You should read up on my point of view” is not the compelling elevator pitch I was hoping for.

        lol sorry for suggesting you read something that could benefit you and your community. But if you want an elevator pitch, sure:

        Anarchism is all about mutual aid. The system (yes, it’s a system. It’s not “anarchy is chaos” like you seem to be implying—and like the centuries-long conditioning has made people believe) runs on community, and rejects not order, but hierarchy. You are living proof that anarchism is possible and works. You aren’t waiting for a system to tell you that you need to donate to feed the poor, you’re feeding the hungry yourself. Food Not Bombs is anarchism.

        In short, anarchy isn’t the absence of order, it’s the absence of hierarchy. It’s the existence of mutual aid, and relying on community to exist and thrive. Capitalism runs on hierarchy and insists that’s natural. Nature runs on need. Just like we could.

        Read Anarchism and other essays by Emma Goldman, it’s a good introduction.
