@Huntn00 @SocialistStan @mloxton @Radical_EgoCom @HeavenlyPossum Anarchists are not opposed to organization and are certainly not opposed to democracy. We object to the state, which is a specific form of social organization characterized by hierarchical class structures, governments that claim sovereignty over territory and have the exclusive right to enforce that sovereignty through a monopoly on the use of force, and in the modern era the ideology of nationalism. There are other ways to organize a society on scales both large and small through diverse combinations of voluntary affinity groups, democratically managed workers councils, systems of mutual aid and community self defense, and federations of all the above. The world we envision is not mad max, nor is it a bunch of hippies holding hands and singing kumbya, but an alternate world system that incorporates modern science and sociology, spontaneous grassroots political organization, and indigenous lifeways to create a model on which a diverse set of societies can be constructed to fit the needs of humans and their communities in harmony with nature.

And even if we are not able to implement this vision in full, bits and pieces of it can be used to make people's lives better in our day to day lives through organizing dual power and mutual aid, and by promoting the values of egalitarianism, socialism, solidarity, curiosity, and opposition to nationalism and fascism whenever and wherever possible.
