Yeah, I'm quite fond of it!
I'm traveling around south east asia working remotely and staying in small expat communities for a few years at a time (long term visas are still hard). There are a lot of small communities all over the place here in Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Laos, Cambodia. I'd hesitate to call them anarchist per se because it's still kinda overseen by local authorities when it comes to crime and visas etc. but it's pretty close otherwise!
That being said I don't know how anarchism could be sustainable at scale without a major cultural reset, so I'm not sold on the idea it would work for giant homogenous places like China or US.
I think I'm anarchist in terms of personality, but I'm not quite there politically. Like you, I'm not quite sure how to get there from here. If we do things like mutual aid and support unions, I don't think we'll go wrong, and that could end up leading to anarchism at some point in the future.
Where I'm anarchist in personality is that I fundamentally don't understand why you would want to be an authoritarian. When I first read 1984 in high school, and there's the bit from O'Brien about how the system is there for power as an end to itself, I didn't understand why anybody would want that. I can kinda see power as a way of gaining a comfortable life for yourself--usually at the expense of others--but not as its own end. I still don't understand it, but have come to accept that there are people like that.
Some of those people are draped in thin blue line flags, and some of those people are draped in a hammer and sickle.
Maybe China and the US shouldn't be giant and homogeneous.
Yup, though it seems like we missed our chance at this long time ago. Can you imagine what would have to happen for US or China to split up in this day an age? That's world-war territory and tbh I'd rather have what we have now.
