Yes I agree completely about the point of appealing to liberals. But it's the same kind of approach I take to someone like Chomsky. He appeals to liberals, calls himself anarchist, and gets people in the door of anarchy. When you're through the door, you can look back and say that Chomsky wasn't that anarchist after all. (this is not to say I am better than him at anything)

I think it's awesome that you built your home. I wish I had those kinds of skills. What I do think though is that an anarchist world would have room for people to be attached to things that they care about without it being property in any way associated with capitalism.

I feel like new things we create in a revolution or 'after' one would exist in a different way to how they do now, but also that things like your home are treasures that would be considered as such by people.

I have always understood personal property as movable, and am not really one to argue semantics because I don't think anything has fixed meaning. Wikipedia seems to agree with both of us - you more than me.

Anyway, I suspect our positions are closer than they appear. My interest from the outset has mostly been one of framing.

I lean more individualist than collectivist, but I'd much rather live adjacent to (anarcho) collectivism than adjacent to neoliberal capitalism.

The great thing about my home is it can be disassembled and moved : )
