Yeah, I've come to see my primary outlet for political action as the process of building the kinds of structures and organizations I want to participate in, from a local level outward. These tend to take the form of semi-amorphous, self-assembling, non-hierchical temporary groups arising to accomplish specific tasks out of a larger ongoing network of social networks. You can get a lot done this way and it's a very pleasant kind of experience. I'm part of a large extended "tribe" that has repeatedly proven its ability to mobilize substantial resources and manage large complex logistical operations with no permanent hierarchy or profit motive, and that demonstrates that there is some valuable body of social skills and experience present which, so far as I know, nobody has yet laid down in writing for others to pick up. I'd like to see this kind of thing get franchised and spread around, and I'd like to be able to borrow from the practices of other such tribes, but since we don't really have a name for the phenomenon yet or a body of writing about it, it's hard to have a global conversation driving it forward.
