I like to point people to Desert by Anonymous. It talks about how the plan should really be waiting for the State to recede as collapse progresses, and finding the spaces left behind where theres room for mutual aid based organization.

I like that. It turns your attention to what's in front of you, rather than waiting for the mythical Revolution we'll likely never see.

The problem with wanting change without collapse is you have to figure out a way to live next to the millions and millions of people who didn't want the change or believed they didn't want it and will never change that belief.

The sad truth is for the kind of meaningful change any of us actually want, it would take enough collective trauma that it displaces the collective feelings of comfort and protection that allow people to have set-in beliefs at all.

This isn't saying I want widespread disaster at all, nobody deserves the suffering of disease, displacement and starvation. Unfortunately it's coming anyway, worse yet, it will only impact the people least deserving of this coming misery.

I always like to (admittedly, pedantically) point out that if anarchism is defined purely etymologically, all it means is "without hierarchy".

My personal interpretation is that it doesn't necessarily imply a lack of a state, democratic or representative government, or jurisprudence of established law; it only implies a lack of arbitrary and tiered authority or power.

Republicans and Democrats are both perfectly ok with state violence so long as it's against brown people, and preferably overseas. How many millions have died from lack of access to affordable health care and an almost non-existent social safety net in the US over the past century? But those aren't counted as ideological deaths for some reason? If you think that choosing either of the two main parties which both have an official policy of supporting foreign genocides is the lesser evil somehow, you've been duped. America has killed more people in wars in the past 20 years than nearly any other state, except perhaps for Russia. You're just bent out of shape because that state violence has been turned on the domestic population for once. Anything has got to be better than the status quo.
