Starting Small to Foster Change

Anarchists advocate for alternative institutions such as worker co-ops, community lending, and alternative schooling. However, the success of these alternatives hinges on the need for different values and social norms. Some critics view discussions about hypothetical solutions without addressing the need for changing people's values as disingenuous. Advocates for change emphasize the importance of discussing actionable steps towards achieving greater levels of liberty, equality, and solidarity, such as supporting critical thinking as a starting point.
