shouldn't we, by the same account, maybe even more, be disparaging of capitalism?

indeed, the context here is political/organisational rather than epistemological

anarchist organisational practices are real

people have been creating solutions to counter "The Tyranny of Structurelessness" for many decades now

coarsely put, anarchists (and work/housing co-ops, and protest groups) most generally favour consensus-process with proper anti-slow facilitation and role rotation, vs the [usually] majority voting systems and power dichotomies that are the style of communism (see democratic centeralism)

though many places just don't mention this essentially counts as anarchism (or libertarian socialism), cos a) the stigma, b) they just don't need to or know to, c) they do, just behind closed doors

"horizontalism/horizontalidad" has been a good descriptor

https://www.radicalroutes.org.uk/structure-and-governance

see also sociocracy, and Murray Bookchin

and the whole range of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialism plus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_communism in general

I'm fond of the communalism of Murray Bookchin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communalism_(Bookchin)

their ideas of liberatory technology and post-scarcity anarchism are refreshing

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/lewis-herber-murray-...

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-post...

plus the Kurds & co evolved their own system from the "libertarian municipalism" Bookchin described

the best economic use-case for the semantic web (text/turtle, text/n3); businesses providing manifests of their stocks and services

plus, AI would also skip search result ads, and, if those have to legally be displayed as such, then there goes the market for them, I'd think

"The police service in England and Wales is "not good enough" and its leadership needs an "ethical reset", Lord Blunkett has said.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0429yx1k9o 4 July 2026

"Speaking exclusively to the BBC ahead of the publication of a major report he co-authored on police leadership, the former Labour home secretary said its findings point to weaknesses in leadership, morale and culture across the service.

The report, to be published on Monday, will conclude there are "significant causes for concern" and that police leadership requires a "fundamental overhaul".
