    Perfectly true.

    But anarchism hasn’t exactly been very productive over the last century when it comes to providing alternatives, has it?

      Anarchism has been very productive in improving the lives of those who practice it. Bringing about things like the 40-hour week. Anarchism doesn’t have to become the sociopolitical system to be beneficial. Look into prefiguration and also look at the comm rules.

      Anarchists saved and improved countless lives in the last few years by doing direct action. They rescue(d) and support(ed) refugees, fed people all over the world, setup bail funds and so much more.

      Actually impacting other peoples lives (and your oen) directly is a pretty appealing alternative imo.
