Hey everyone - joining the thread to answer the initial question.
I'm at the crossroad of anarcho-socialism, anarcho-communism, and anarcho-collectivism. However, I recognize the fallacy of each, particularly given the state of the global economy and that of the western world. The western proletariat is no longer industrialized nor produces any goods, so they can no longer revolt and seize control of the means of production. Production has been entirely outsourced to other nations. Skilled labor has been nearly eliminated and replaced with customer service positions, and the educational system is a farce, so it seems unlikely that the working class could self-organize and collectivize. While I embrace the utopian concept of a post-capitalist egalitarian society free of currency or class, I am curious how a stateless society manages systems like ISPs, utility provisions, road maintenance, waste management, social service systems, and other organizations previously maintained by the state. So while I have concrete political ideals, I have a simultaneous awareness that they are ridiculous.
