Anarchism

Concrete strategies are pervertable. Values are less so. If you know what you're aiming for, you should be able to evaluate any strategies you encounter to see if they align. It's also not possible to build one strategy for everyone. How could you make it right for all communities? How could you force everyone to follow it? You'd need a state...

Reading more about anarchism in general should expose you to concrete examples of what has been tried, how it worked, and how it was destroyed. I'd start with Orwell in Spain and the Anarcho-Syndicalysts.

Based on my understanding, the method by which we get from the world today to the an anarchist society is often conflated with the social revolution of socialism. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. I doubt it. What I do know, is that anarchism isn't just a theory - it's a practice. We are meant to live it, not just talk about it.

Start with anarchism as a spice. Any time you're in a position to influence the governance of something, a project, club, society or council, insist on making sure that all use of authority is justified.

Get involved in everything you can, be the person that brings the anarchist perspective. You don't need to call yourself an anarchist and proclaim your actions for the cause. This isn't a crusade, you're not killing in the name of. It's about making sure that use of authority is justified. Offer the anarchist options, show others how to live a different way.

Finally, always be aware someone will recognize what you are and what you're about. Anarchism is about making power justify itself, and if it can't, abolishing that power. This means that those that seek power will always notice you're the problem to them acquiring more power. They will seek to eliminate or neuter your ability to interfere.

If you're making small waves in a small community, the response will likely be similarly small. If you've succeeded in making a whole region change to a different way of life, maybe it's a national guard with guns that comes knocking. Both can be devastating.

If that sounds like a lot of effort, it is. That's why the world hasn't switched overnight. I would say however, that it's no more effort than is required anyway. Every strategy picked must be checked for suitability - the ends cannot justify the means.
