seriously though, how would glasses distribution work under anarchism?
firstly: i am in good faith here. in fact i think you could label me an anarchist.
so, you might've seen the meme i am referring to. someone asks this same question, to which an anarchist replies with this:
> -i need glasses
> -hey i like making glasses and helping people who need them, take these
> -thx
I'm very sympathetic to anarchism but this does still make me laugh to be honest. it's just so hugely oversimplified.
i align way more with the side of things that's about praxis rather than answering far away hypotheticals like these. .
but since the meme is so popular in making fun of anarchists, and the answer to this question is admittedly not very good, i really do want a more informed answer on this one..
so what's up with it?
