  • Anarchism is itself the idea of communal society existing peacefully in the absense of authority. The first question of anarchy is the means of sustainance--food, shelter, clothing, etc. But even this cannot now be theorized. First, challenge the state. Second, destroy the state. Third, live and let live. To theorize possibilities of economy and of structure is to lay the seed of eventually control, and the spirit of anarchism is the absense of that control. Go backwards, not forwards.

  • No economy can be hypothesized outside of direct experience where anarchism is concerned. Force of events alone can provide the pathway to a means of exchange within an evolving society, which is exactly how it transpired in Spain, the best example to date. That example, however, is presented in context of war and of competing ideologies. Useless conjecture is a poor subsistute for actively challenging the justification of state power, economically or otherwise.
