community organizing outside of the state structure would be better and less hypocritical than an anarchist working for the state

The only thing hypocritical is the way so many anarchists act hard-line about so many things and it's the same ones who rarely do any actual organizing that are the first ones to yell 'sell out.' I'm not calling you out directly, I've always appreciated your opinions and ideas here, but moving things forward and appealing anarchism and direct action to a larger group seems a bit more important than stomping on others attempts as it doesn't fit your mold of what anarchism is.

very true. I still think direct action is better being an anarchist commissioner because the former is a) more direct b) not tethered to the state

Like I said, I agree. There is really no alternative to direct action.
