RE: Why You Should Stop Complaining about "The Government"
Who else is going to maintain the running water, sewage system? I don't get how that works on Anarchist Island. If they have an outhouse, where do they dump all the shit? Crude example but that's one of the most important things to take care of. Second only to food. lol!
In an anarchist Island, as also elsewhere, the shit gets ultimately, after some composting, dumped in garden, where it gives nutrients to the foodstuff that people eat and turn into shit. Recycling. In a place where I lived there were also detailed plans to burn the composting fumes of shit to heat a greenhouse. Water runs inwards towards the center of gravity, and there are also pumps that even anarchists can build and maintain.
Thanks for the answer. It was a serious question. Are such sustainability practices feasible on a large scale ?
On any scale sustainability requires recycling and self-strengthening feed-back loops of energy and information flows. Static models of sustainable practices can be also bit misleading, as in practice they - we - are dynamic systems.
