I often hear some variation of “I find anarchism appealing but I worry that it would be incompatible with the complexity of the modern world.”

I often hear some variation of “I find anarchism appealing but I worry that it would be incompatible with the complexity of the modern world.”
And I get that concern, but it begs the question that the modern world is “working,” which it very clearly isn’t.
It is built on a foundation of immense, constant violence and ecological destruction. It only “works” for some people, and only then at an unsustainable cost.
Look around and tell me that all of this is “working.” So embrace anarchism or reject it, whatever, but don’t pretend that the obstacle is a need to maintain some version of the status quo.

@HeavenlyPossum Also, the complexity of the modern world allows a lot more ways of practicing anarchism than was possible when the word seemed simpler.
