Anarchism

In short: sewer socialism.

I had spent years street protesting the war in Iraq, and had grown tired of trying to build community and organize in a college town.

So I moved out into a deep rural (and red) part of the country and got a job working in Public Health. This was well before covid and I just started working with grant money to help people retrofit and upgrade their septic systems.

It was a government job and it did more good for more people than I think any damage I did to police or federal property.

And from there I kept working and seeing benefits of public health and infrastructure. There's a lot to the state and government that I don't like, but public infrastructure is the valid basis of a state.
