Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

Good post in general but this specifically is a very succinct way of summarizing anarchist vs ML thought:

Communists essentially think they can use these tools to build out a prosperous society and then in software terms "pay off the tech debt", but historically that has yet to be proven. Anarchists build slow and mindfully in comparison because for anarchists typically the anarchist social relation is more important in the long run than material conditions, since the social relation is actually what prevents exploitation (both Marxist and non-Marxist sense).

I love the tech debt comparison and the distinction between social relation and material conditions
