Here's a really cool coin from Cameroon which tells a whole story:
Obverse: A case open to show a screen with sites marked around the world. A robotic finger moving towards a button, likely to launch ICBMs.

Reverse: A Robot sitting thoughtfully on a couch, debris around. "END OF HUMANITY" on a building. Colour nuclear explosions in the background & teddy in an overturned pram to the right.

If #civilization began again from scratch, what kinds of societies would evolve next time? #Communal, #capitalist. #theocratic, #meritocratic, #secular, #egalitarian, #exploitive? Societies are usually a combination of these types, but do they always combine as we expect them to? Are our choices about the type of #society we create completely up to us, or are we constrained by the environment and circumstance? Tomorrow is the last day I’ll be giving away my novel HUMAN to FediHumans. Visit bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.htm and use the code ‘fedihuman’ to get your free EPUB!

bretthodnett.comHUMANA remarkable exploration of family, society, and what makes us human, HUMAN will take you from the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, to the two very different societies that emerge 15 million years later, where those few surviving individuals have evolved to become something that we might not fully recognize as human.

In a post apocalyptic world, there won’t be zombies or battles for oil. Just regular people trying to let go of their past and doing the best they can to create new ways to live. Three more days for #FediHumans to get a free copy of my just released novel HUMAN. Visit bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.htm and use the code ‘fedihuman’ to get your free EPUB!

How will infrastructure work in an anarchist society?

I'm in agreement about the need to burn *it all down now. I'm wondering how the survivors rebuild to basics.

I haven't read any anarchist theory or philosophy. I'm totally on board with mutual aid, which seems to me to be easy to enact for things like food, shelter, and clothing. Lots of people know how to forage and garden, repair and build structures, and turn raw fibers into something wearable.

Very few people know how to maintain or build water systems and electrical grids. Or make solar panels.

I've got hope, and want to learn about the way forward from people who've been thinking about this far longer than I have.

ETA: clarifying footnote

*social structures, not infrastructure
