I am a recovered libertarian/anarcho-capitalist lol.
Now I identify more as a queer anarchist. I believe in the ability and right of people to self-organize and maintain autonomy of body, identity and action as long as the exercise thereof doesn't harm others. I believe the state is an institution based on violence and theft thinly veiled by a mythos of legitimacy. Rather than perpetuating an oppressive and inherently violent institution, I support a community-driven society based upon mutual respect, solidarity, self-organization, and ethical (and environmentally sustainable) production and consumption.
As for my ideology of revolution, I don't think our society is ready for an immediate transition to a stateless community. I think that, firstly, oppression needs to be further eradicated. I don't trust self-organization until systemic racism, sexism, cissexism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, neurotypicism, ageism, classism, fat-phobia and slut shaming are all eradicated and minimized to instances of personal prejudice. Secondly, I don't think it's feasible or ethical to pull government aid programs instantly while vulnerable people still depend on them. Only when viable alternatives are available for beneficiaries can I advocate ending government aid.
I am still working out my ideas of production and distribution. I have a little bit of a founding in economics (until recently I was majoring in Econ) as well as Austro-praxeological approaches to economics, but I haven't been able to apply this understanding to the problem of ethical community production yet. Syndicalism interests me, but I have more research ahead of me.
I don't believe in utopia, but I think the system can help people rather than comodify us and leave all but the elite vulnerable.
