in parts of the world where there's pretty much no state reach, people tend to self-organize into neighborhoods and villages and shit. they share stuff and hang out and talk shit. the infrastructure tends to be minimal, with dirt roads and bamboo fences maintained resourcefully. a lot of stuff is just kind of jerry rigged together out of plants. people drink. mostly everyone farms.

people say that anarchism isn't possible, but actually there are huge parts of the world that have been pretty close to emulating it for hundreds of years. many tribes probably fled into the hills to escape tyrannical states and the history was just lost after a few generations.

    How do you get hospitals and health care and parental leave?

    regarding the places that im describing and have personally seen, I would say that hospitals and healthcare are not really a thing. there's a lot of traditional medicine, herbs and things like that, effective at treating some things and not others. there's a lot of pseudoscience and superstition. there's also medicine that comes in from outside

    parental leave is easy though, given the collectivism that is usually going on. families are multigenerational and they stick together and people help eachother out
