#MondayAnarchy #Anarchism
– Remember, anyone can start a #MondayAnarchy – & some have already 👍
. . .
#Question: In your own #activism, do the groups you are involved with, do they use 'consensus' or some version of that? or is there a hierarchy?

Is hierarchy a problem for you or others? is it a necessary evil? or is hierarchy evil if there are checks and balances?

How would prefer to work in a group vs how groups actually function?

Your deep thoughts please...

A New #USA Declaration of Independence
– by #EmmaGoldman 1909

'...We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all human beings, irrespective of race, color, or sex, are born with the equal right to share at the table of life; that to secure this right, there must be established among men economic, social, and political freedom; we hold further that government exists but to maintain special privilege and property rights; that it coerces man into submission and therefore robs him of dignity, self-respect, and life.

The history of the American kings of capital and authority is the history of repeated crimes, injustice, oppression, outrage, and abuse, all aiming at the suppression of individual liberties and the exploitation of the people...'

True #altruism seen in chimpanzees

'...trained 6 chimps at the Leipzig Zoo to play a sharing game. Each chimp was paired with a partner who was given a choice of 4 ropes to pull, each with a different outcome: give just herself a banana pellet; give just the subject a pellet; give both of them pellets; or forgo her turn and let her partner make the decision instead.

Unbeknownst to these partner chimpanzees, the chimp that always started the game... was trained to always choose the last option, giving up her turn. From the partner’s point of view, this was a risky choice... as Tai risked losing out entirely on the banana pellets. Over dozens of trials, after Tai gave up her turn, the 6 partners pulled the rope that rewarded both themselves and Tai with a treat 75% of the time, indicating they valued her risking her own treats to help them...'
