I definitely agree we need the ability to dissolve structures as well as add them. What that looks like in practice though is still difficult for me to grasp.

oh for sure. we live in a world made out of self-reinforcing systems that are designed to be permanent (even if they're actually very brittle) and it's practically impossible to imagine anything else replacing it. that's why i'm not a revolutionary anarchist: i don't think we get to a better future by pulling out the bottom block on the Jenga tower, and accepting whatever catastrophic consequences result in the name of establishing anarchism. but when these systems fail on their own, and we have to think about how to rebuild or replace them, anarchism gives us a framework for thinking about more socially sustainable possibilities.
looking forward to following along with the discussion!

Well that is a brilliant way to put it and I very much agree with that take!
