A Request For My Fellow Anarchists

Many times, in debate anarchists are asked, "how do we get from here to there?". The question, even if unanswered isn't an argument for statism. There is still the self-evident truth that the state is illegitimate and needs to be abolished. In most cases, if the question is posed by the statist they're implicitly acknowledging that truth anyway.
However, the question as an argument against statism is not what I want to address. Rather, I have a request for my fellow anarchists, and this includes anarchists of all creeds. It calls for you to live your life defiantly and self-sufficiently. It calls for you to set an example for others to show how anarchism makes your life happier.

My request: Seek change through Civil Disobedience, exercise freedom of association, and use agorism as much as practicable to get what you need.

Civil Disobedience is the most effective and most moral way to change the political world around you. Freedom of association is the most effective and moral way to change your personal life. Agorism is the most effective and moral way to be self-sufficient and change your material world. I request of anarchists to live in the manner that they would under a free world, because once we are actively living in such a manner, there will be essentially no difference between a free world and the world we know.

Absolutely. Doing what I can right now, expanding as possible.

US can only tax dollar valuated income. If people start using barter notes to buy goods and get paid in private barter notes, then the Fed will no longer have anything to tax.

I like this because it would be gradual, wearing down the tumor instead of ripping it out.

I grow almost all my own vegetables, have solar panels for power, a diesel generator, friends to hide with if need be (incase a full blown overt ( or even covert) dictatorship comes into place in full force), a clean social security number (no data on whereabouts for 3 years, nor has it been used ( luckily I got my trombone scholarship, I may have be stuck with fafsa without it), money earned from buying/selling goods in various flea markets, and then buying/selling them online under a pseudonym with a transfer account. Even getting payed to let my pot smoking neighbors know when the cops are within the radius. (plate identification works both ways). Just some small things I have done anyways
