Hey folks, time for the weekly monthly whenever I can remember check-in. How are we feeling? Read anything good lately? How's the weather?

Been thinking about anarchism as realized in rural areas versus anarchism as realized in urban areas. I've always thought that anarchism is more realistically achievable in the short-term in rural areas - they have a higher degree of independence from authority, and oftentimes there's greater per capita involvement in social structures that could (and sometimes already do) perform most of the work formerly performed by the state.

I'd love to see an anarchist municipality realized, and I'm a shameless :LIB: ertarian municipalism apologist, but I just don't think that it would be as easy to implement the same kind of social structures that exist in rural areas. Is this a bad take? Thoughts?

Edit cause I fucked up the emote oh shit oh fuck

    I like the term :LIB: mun, gonna steal that.

    Honestly, Bookchin's theories are probably incompatible with pure anarchist theory. From a pragmatic achievability perspective, though, I think they present viable path towards actually achieving lasting social change. Destroying some hierarchy is better than destroying none. Maybe we can have a tiny bit of democratic legislating as a treat.
