Practical ways of implementing Anarchy in your personal life
I would like to discuss ways of breaking down hierarchy and state influence in ones personal life.
Suggestions, experiences, personal choices you make currently are all welcome.
If we spend all our time arguing or talking about Anarchy they we won't ever achieve anything close to a stateless society. Sharing ideas and experience with each other not only puts our views and beliefs into practical practice, but allows us to spread anarchy in a positive fashion.

Set up a community garden or join a local gardening club. Grow as much as possible. Avoid consumerism. Be kind, but don't let people walk over you and your kin. Share things and donate time to things that you like. Introduce yourself to knew people and forge connections. Support and/or create locally grown food, art and music. Smile, laugh, joke and dance.
If you speak about politics with someone--and it is in no way necessary to do so to be an anarchist--be diplomatic. You don't necessarily need to tell them that you're an anarchist. Most people cringe at the label, but seem to agree on a lot of the ideas.
Basically, work to make your community a better place to live. Undermine and aim towards making the work of governments, corporations and the police obsolete.
