The nice thing about anarchism is you don't have to wait for society to collapse. We can start practicing it now and let it grow from there.

The Zapatistas didn't wait for society to collapse, and neither should we! πŸ₯°

Too bad, you're getting totalitarian theocracy for the post-apocalypse and you'll like it! (They literally crucify you if you don't)

It starts with one person that knows about it, then it becomes a long running game of Nomic and nobody has any clue what the fuck the law is supposed to be anymore.

No one's utopia rises from the ashes of a collapsed society. Usually collapse is followed by a run of short-lived autocrats, until one of them (or a coalition) sees the trend and is determined not to be the next dead dictator. They then create a constitution and none of them are elected as the executive.

By then everyone is desperate for some quiet, and no one really cares to be king anymore. (Cromwell was unique in handing the theone of England back to a family with some royal legitimacy, but that was before the ideals of the enlightenment.)

What we haven't tried yet is crafting an ironclad constitution before or during the violence. Were I not a depressed misanthrope with no organization skills, I might have developed an online website that tracked the constitutions of the world (as cross-translated as possible) and made workshops for hypothetical clauses, such as ranked-choice US presidential elections won by popular vote. The point would be to make a site where fledgling states could hammer out ironclad constitutional clauses toward an actual public-serving state. Sadly, I'm pathetic and didn't do this. And no one else has either.

The more prepared grassroots movements are before the collapse, the less churn of warlords the state has to suffer during the aftermath.

Note that corporations, rich masterminds and foreign interests will still offer finances and materiel to shills to take over and serve as a ruthless puppet dictator. These will be your most difficult adversaries. The DPRK shows us how bad that can get.

Anarchism is about building from the ground up with mutual aid organizations, which create the infrastructure that will support labor unions, community service orgs and other public serving interests. Since these serve as a sneak attack on elite-serving establishment, accelleration doesn't help them, though mutual aid will help neighborhoods survive when the collapse comes.

Oh hey look the comments are full of these cats apparently.

That's right everyone your personal favorite utopia is the only one that is gonna be correct. All you have to do is believe in it super hard and be completely unwilling to change even a fraction of your belief and I guarantee you that that utopia that you are thinking about in your head is gonna be the only one that was right!

But remember only if you completely believe in ~~Santa~~ your after civilization society, will you get the present you wanted so tell anyone doubting you, that they are a fucking liar and don't know what's best for them or everyone else so they need to fuck off till they see it your way!

For society of course.

P.S. one group has that idea already and they have a lot more members than yours.
