Anarchism seeks to end all illegitimate hierarchies & systematic injustices in all spheres of society. 1/20
Anarchism elegantly reconciles this seeming contradiction: people should have a say in the decisions that affect their lives in proportion to the degree the decision affects them. 2/20
But if a decision affects others, then they too should have a say (maximize democracy). How much of a say? A say proportional to the degree they are affected. 3/20
When people have a say in decisions that don’t affect them or if they have more say than is proportional to the degree they are affected, they prevent others from having their fair say. 4/20
But, if a decision affects an entire workplace, then all workers in the workplace should have a say. 8/20
Give real decision-making power to those who are affected: nested participatory democratic bodies: from neighborhoods & communities to cities and beyond. 11/20
Giving people a fair & participatory say in the decisions that affect them not only ensures decisions are made in our best interest (which is reason enough) but also increases fulfillment. 12/20
