Political Nihilism, would that be a better descriptor?
You could easily have an unstructured society, insofar food. shelter and medical care were taken care of, and people the freedom to be part of anything else as long as they had the freedom to leave it as well. Twenty percent of the world's energy use is electricity, people could literally stand on their heads, staying home from jobs that only turn over a higher amount of emissions, get supplied what they need to live, serve time in those three industries, food, shelter or medical like military service for a few years and we could cut the speed of global warming by half, at least, within an election term.
Anarchists are allowed to have goals and the issue is we have kept systems of money and power going for ten thousand years, at the very least, paid for with people's lives. The anarchist has structure within the system in the tearing down, can't burn the old because there is nothing new, but the anarchist might be better called a political nihilist, that actually achieves the goal's but if basics were met for every individual on the planet, an equal share, that would be structured and anarchic, right?
