I think this is a great video. I'll show it to friends who got the idea of anarchism from me but cant really grasp it further. This is but another brick in that building but a good one imo.
Two things make it a little problematic at times. I think experience bears a lot of weight in our current society so that it is both a burden weighing down on people when it comes to make good decisions and a concept people grasp more quickly. I think this makes it needful of more discussion and explanation.
The other thing is dominance. From anarchist practice, i have learned that new groups sometimes try to subdue themselves to a leadership figure, fueling bad patterns and without enough experience in this kind of group, it can lead to bad outcomes. One of these outcomes was new people coming in and trying to oppose the perceived leader instead of the apparently flawed implementation of anarchy. This led to confrontation and exclusion of the person, leaving the group in a worse situation that it was, although everything stayed the same.
Things like this are what I would love to learn about from other groups. Does anyone know resources for that?
