you know the bank can evict you from your home but you can't be throwing molotovs into the bank you know that sort of thing is a very unequal relationship that is enforced and defended by rules by the rights granted by those rules and so rather than approaching society with a one-size-fits-all approach to rules that are enforced by some type of authority we can instead create solutions that are tailored to specific problems

And yes, we might approach concepts like best practice and solving problems and conflicts, but that'll be different from rules. You know, that's something that's not enforced, something that's constantly in negotiation, something that's constantly taken into practice and developed and shifted, and it's far more flexible.

And I know that it can be difficult to break away from the idea that we need rules and that the rulers are essential, but it's necessary that we can conceptualize anarchy from that angle, with that implication. And it's difficult because of how we've been socialized, how we tend to view human nature. And I take time to develop these ideas, to dwell on them further.

I'm still grasping some of these things and trying to understand them. But between this episode and the next and all the books and all the work that is being put out there to sort of develop anarchism, to bring it to more people. And of course, through practice, we can get a clearer sense of how anarchist organization can work in all of its harmonious complexity.

I say organization and complexity specifically because it is often assumed that the presence of anarchy is the absence of organization or the absence of complexity because those terms are often associated with or synonymized with hierarchy and authority. But you can't have organization and complexity without them.

So, on the next part of the definition, we get into the idea of anarchy being a world where self-determination, mutuality, and free association form the basis of our society. Self-determination is probably the easiest to explain of the three terms that are used to define such a society because it's just the idea that individuals can define and pursue their own paths.

It's the belief that people, individually and collectively, have the capacity to live and organize themselves in ways that reflect their own needs, desires, and values. It rejects the notion that others, whether they be states, corporations, religious institutions, or other elites, should have the power to dictate the lives of individuals or impose structures of exploitation and control.
