Hey I wanted to ask, since you are called queeranarchism what are your views and concepts of how your ideal anarchism would work exactly? I am genuenly interested and the only one person I know who says he is an anarchist really has no thought out concepts and gets really defensive when I ask questions(he is also a cisstraightwhitedude whose views on queer issues :/). So I would love to read a bit about more thought through concepts! Feel free to link me to any good blogs/posts too, obviously!

Welp, that is a big question. Where to begin? Ideal anarchist justice? Ideal group decision making? An ideal way to handle food production? Relationships? Education? Our relationship to animals and the environment? Technology? Housing? Art? Spirituality? Sex?

Oppression touches every part of our lives and to describe a society in which all of that is dismantled would take a very very very long post. Some of it on topics that I know very little about. So I would rather just recommend my favorite book. It’s online for free:

Personally I think anarchism is by nature not so much about the theory of the ideal society and much more about the practical changing the world right now. Creating non-hierarchial places and destroying hierarchial ones. An ideal is a strange distant thing to focus on when there is so much anarchism that we could create in our lives right now. 

When we squad buildings and create living spaces that are not property. When we create communities that don’t rely on trial and punishment to create justice. When we stop a deportation. When we share skills in ways that do not rely on the teacher-student hierarchy. When we keep the streets nazi-free. When we find new ways to support each other and new ways to love each other and new ways to fuck. 

In all these moments we create anarchism, messy, imperfect and so so real. 

If you want to understand anarchism, look at the best friendship you have ever experienced. The one where you always felt like you could be yourselves as equals, where taking decisions together was not about winning, where you never felt obligated to do anything you didn’t want to, where you always helped the other out without asking for a thing in return and always received help when you needed it. Where you would never hurt each other on purpose but always help each other overcome fuckups and unlearn harmful behavior because you understood that people change when they are supported, not when they are punished. Picture that friendship. Chances are, that friendship is already pretty close to an ideal anarchist space. Try to create that lack of hierarchy and lack of coercion everywhere around you, fight for strangers the way you would fight for that friend, and you have anarchism.
