I’m interested in anarchism, but the thing is, I have yet to get a satisfactory answer to, ‘‘is that even likely in this lifetime?’’. It’s just swiftly dismissed as ‘‘boo doomer’’.
If it’s not likely in my lifetime (which seems to be the case), I don’t see why I’d invest attention, even if I see it as ideal.
The ultimate reality is nothing is likely in your lifetime except societal collapse from climate change.
What you do next is up to you, there is no saviour or solution coming. There is doing the best you can today, and trying to build up local community, skills, and bonds that may help you.
I’d have said, “then I’m not interested in this” until I read the last line. I suppose it’s beneficial insofar as one can set up mutually beneficial communities etc.
so what you’re effectively saying here is “why should i bother if i won’t personally profit from it”, which i’m not sure is something you can be reasoned out of.
We should work toward anarchy because it’s the ring thing to do, if we don’t do it then who will? It’s like voting, if you don’t vote for a small but good party then who will?

Yup, we can’t change or save the world and it’s okay to recognise that. As long as we understand we can improve where we are now and today.
And who knows, maybe a million small changes in everyone’s local area can lead to a larger global change.

I don’t vote either.
