Fractal Anarchism

This is a community built to refine Fractal Anarchism as a concept and realize it in the world.

An initial introduction to the concept can be found here. Currently this is being expanded out into a book currently titled "Kairos".

Fractal Anarchism asserts that both oppression and liberation are fractal in nature. An authoritarian society is made of lots of small authoritarian systems, which maintain power by traumatizing people to install a cop in everyone's head. Opposing this means that liberation happens at all levels, but also, importantly, changes in lower levels can change higher ones. By changing the way you think about yourself and your situation, and acting on that change, you can influence society. Rather than grand revolution, Fractal Anarchism focuses on growing local revolution, individual to collective, into social revolution.

Expect racism, misogyny, transphobia, ableism, and other discrimination to be called out. Call it out yourself if it's otherwise missed. Failure to adjust behavior after being called out will result in bans. No one is expected to be perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. But everyone also must also listen and learn.

The VSM provides a way to assess systems for viability (will the survive to do the thing they're supposed to do). Using this model, we can assess the project of Fractal Anarchism as a whole as well as the the praxis and all components of the praxis which need to persist.

This podcast provides an easy introduction to Jon Walker's VSM guide.
