Had a convo with an anarchist colleague some days ago and my conclusion was: this just sounds like hyperindividualism. No state, no central authority whatsoever, ultimate freedom for the individual, whatever.
there's more advanced anarchism that differentiates bureaucracy from state and hierarchy but that always sounds like libertarians reinventing the state to me and it only makes any sense to me in vague "post-prison abolition we'll still have somewhere to separate serial killers from society" way where the imagined structure is so different from what we have now that people don't want to call it a state.
Getting together and get shit done is authoritarian, but try to ask them to do the dish, it's all your tasks. I've organized with enough anarchists to accept the fact they love to push collective responsibilities around. They can discuss and "debate" all they want about whichever utopia, but they just can't share the chores. They'd cook the shit but you the gallant one gotta clean theirs.
