Make things better by making better things.
Every aspect of all our lives is ready for some revolution—healthcare, education, democracy, capitalism, nuclear disarmament, climate crisis, food processing, water rights…Everyone is feeling dissatisfied with how things are. It’s time to introduce a little anarchy. However, we don’t need torches to burn it down and start over for this to work. What we need is to reimagine. Political thinker and Linguist Noam Chomsky defines what anarchism should be and that any system or person imposing authority over someone must be justified. If it can’t be justified, we must find something better to replace it. That’s it. If a system isn’t working, why can’t we replace it with something more fair? A parent can justify pulling their four-year-olds to get them out of the street when a car is whizzing by. That is justified behavior. Is it justified to work people to the point they get chronic illnesses in exchange for a few years of retirement? Is it justified to deny healthcare to another human being because they don’t have the correct insurance?
