Anarchism is about eliminating unjust hierarchy, we can still provide services through publicly operated programs, and a mail delivery service nicely fits within many anarchist frameworks.
Gotta break it down to the most basic terms for the libs and tankies, but they're still gonna clutch their false narratives.
One thing anarchism certainly isnʻt, is a monolith.
Til social democracy is anarchism
if you perhaps replace representative democracy with direct democracy
switzerland already did that to some degree. turns out a whole lot of democracy is boring stuff that most people don't want to bother with, it's only some specific decisions they want total control over.
imo the right answer would be a system where elected representatives exist but can lose their power at any time. like, imagine a system where voting power on legislation belongs to the people, and bills get introduced through having the support of a certain number of people, but you can delegate your voting power to a representative of your choice, at any time you want, with no fixed terms.
protests would have teeth in a system like that, because they would directly result in the refusal and re-delegation of power immediately, with no need to wait for elections, and no need to weigh a low number of parties. you can just select whoever to handle your vote, whenever. and if you don't like that person, select someone else.
we could even include an option to override your rep and directly vote on specific issues without having to change reps or throwing your vote away on the day-to-day technicalities that your rep would understand far better than you.
Sounds like liquid democracy:

Anarchism is just three libertarian racoons in a trench coat.
I'm kidding, put down the pitchforks
that's... not how anarchism works. social anarchism in particular aims to create and nurture public benefit programs
Anarcho-syndicalism still delivers mail. In theory, at least.
It becomes easier when humans don’t have the toil of physically moving the packages. My husband would build and program the robots right now if I let him. (Too afraid that he’ll overthrow society before the 4 thieves vinegar collective publishes the recipes for the medications that I need to survive)
Imagine confusing anarchism with anarchy, as an intellectual position.
