Golden Age Anarchism

Origin

Golden Age Anarchism takes the best elements from both primitive and civilized world, while rejecting it's bad parts.

Civics

n Golden Age Anarchism, there will be no traditional cities and villages, but so called settlements, reminding Solarpunk style. Outside communes, there can live nomads as well. Their lifestyle would be adventurous and traveling, without settling down. Inside communities, people will live peaceful agrarian lifestyle. There is no need for rulers for this society, because everyone will be their own "master". It doesn't mean that community will be democratic - all decisions will be made by individuals, without bureaucratic processes. For example, if you want to paint a wall of your house, just do it. Communities will be surrounded by natural environments, respective for local climate. Anyone can leave community in any time, because they will be based on total free association. Newborn children will be raised communally, and taught basic things, like reading, writing and counting, then more advanced fields of study like natural sciences and history. Decisions about entire community would be based on meeting and discussion, not by vote or autocracy, yet individual decisions would be left for individuals. Instead of hospitals, we would have other means of illness treatment, both traditional and recreated from civilization's knowledge, both herbal medicine and chemical medicine. We hope that actions like murder, rape or robbery will no longer be present, but if those activities will appear, we will try to exile or rehabilitate that person. In the worst case, self defense will be necessary and then killing an aggressive individual would be justified.

Economics

Distribution of goods in Golden Age Anarchism would be based on mutual aid and barter. People will have their own small property, like houses. "Production" of goods will be done by permaculture, it means natural and sustainable agriculture maintained by natural cycles. We will grow grains, fruits, vegetables, herbs and drugs, and breed animals, but with respect for them and good treatment. Then food will be processed, for example we will make flour from grains and then bread. If you are a baker, and your neighbor is a tailor, you can trade your bread for tailor's clothes. Money and commodities will not even need to exist. We would reach total self sufficiency, and necessary economic professions will be done by persons who knows best how to do particular labor. Work in traditional sense (unenjoyable activities done for the state or capital) will disappear, and an individual can choose what's the best labor for them.
