RE: The Future of Anarchism - Our Velveteen Philosophy

Good stuff.
The following is pure anecdotal, but may be useful:
I work with a model that anarchists range from far right ultra anarchists to the social anarchists of the far left. Right anarchists are typically interested in individual constructs. The relationship anarchy is of lesser interest, but does have a quantum of significance to the right of center. Right of center anarchists view relational anarchism more in the area of individual exchanges. The left anarchists feel a need to make exchanges more deeply interpersonal and lasting.

I think the blossoming, you are experiencing is a discovery of a type of anarchy. This isn't separate from values that occur in economical anarchy models. The current models recognize subjective value, and if your value system places relationship and interpersonal experience, aesthetic, and poetics as primary, that is surely what you build your constructs with.

There probably does need to be a awareness in boundaries of types of anarchy. Often Larken will talk about the 'feels' thing. I have sparred with enough minds of the left to uncover something that might be useful. It appears people on the left have something I call 'Social Objectivity'. I am not saying it is right or wrong, it just appears to be a concept that flows from a social sense of Praxeology and Epistemology.

This is different from the rational, property, logical, economic types of anarchism. That is based more on what I call 'Empirical Objectivity'.

Anarchists in the middle have a mix of both Social Objectivity and Empirical Objectivity, but vary considerably about each.
