RE: The Plan: An Anarchist’s Guide to Freedom

in #anarchism8 years ago

Thanks @fraterralph! It was a bit of a process for me when I became one. It makes sense, but at the same time, seems completely ridiculous and insane. It took me a long time to really wrap my head around what it means to have a free society and how it really is inevitable.

At first, everything seems so complex. How would we manage roads? What about national defense? Courts, police, schools, I mean honestly, the State has control over so many "services" we all use. Rather than thinking of eliminating them all at once, I find it really valuable to walk through the thought process behind how we can and will do each and every one better through completely voluntary, emergent solutions.

I don't know the specifics of how these solutions will look. In fact, no one does. Humanity will value whichever solutions "work" the best. Until now, they've had little incentive or means to explore alternatives, but technology is rapidly changing this, and making these ideas possible in ways we've never seen. This is literally only the beginning of this process, as well, which is simply stunning.

There are loads of great resources out there, and the best part is, most of them are now here on Steemit, as well. :)


@kennyskitchen made a great list if you didn't catch it at the bottom of the post: https://steemit.com/anarchy/@kennyskitchen/the-40-anarchists-you-want-to-be-following-on-steemit
