I firmly believe people have the power to make decisions locally and cooperatively. Anarchism is how that is put into practice.
The realizations of anarchist ideas and practices are like sociopolitical ecosystems. Local versions resemble each other, but they are endlessly adaptive and everywhere different to meet their needs in their environments. Anarchism can be adapted to meet the culture, economics, ecology, and politics of various people or communities. That's the beauty of it.
I would rather die a dreamer than live as a cynic.
