It seems like a nice life of culture and debauchery.
I dunno. I aim to be the older gay man who's light switches have indecent plates, and who has artistic nudes around the apartment. It's not so much that I enjoy those things for myself, but just that I'd rather anyone entering my apartment be auto-filtered out. I don't need people with no sense of humor or sticks up their proverbial butts.
... Sticks up their actual butts could be a great conversation starter, though.
Anarchist checking in, so, y'know, bias and all that. But I'd say it's just as impossible to have anarchism in one country. Bearing in mind, I'm an anarcho-communist, and not terribly familiar things like mutualism, so that may be different. I tend to view, as do (to my knowledge) most ancoms, communism and anarchism as synonyms. The difference is how we get to the end point, not the end point itself. A stateless, classless, moneyless society. We've had the Spanish anarchists, and some examples of societies like Madagascar, where there are villages and region that function in an anarchistic way, but True Anarchism™ couldn't function in a single country/region. It needs to be international in it's scope for all the same reasons communism needs to be international in it's scope. Anarchist political methods can function at a smaller scale, but we can't have a fully anarchist society until it's global.
Which all just means that I'm an anarchist because I prefer the methods to achieving the shared goal, not because I disagree on the goal itself, if that makes sense.
Capitalism.
