**Alt text:** An infographic titled "You Might Already Be An Anarchist If..." followed by a list of five statements about self-determination, skepticism of police, labor, mutual aid, and systemic change. At the bottom, a graphic shows people holding hands around a globe, alongside a handshake icon and an anarchist "A" symbol.

How do anarchists propose civilizations handle things like power plants? Acquiring and transmitting energy at the levels needed to maintain a modern standard of living depends a lot on communities coming together and allocating resources like a government.

    Anarchism is not no organisation, it's bottom up organisation. So the power plant would be run by the people working it, who in turn would be part of the community. The community would organise with other communities to plan, develop, and share resources for the mutual benefit of them all.

    Shockingly for some people you do not need someone to come in and force people to do things the way they want it, you can actually work together and co-operate with people.

    Edit: Holy shit your instance is fucking revolting.

    NOTE Using weed brackets [] for words that has to be weeded out.

    The word [civilization] implies that there are people who are [uncivilized]. It constructs supremacy of the [developed] over the [under developed].
