Some of us anarchists want radical change now and will not settle for anything less, as in the slogan "if voting changed anything, it would be illegal!"
But I am a patient anarchist.
I vote in elections, because democracy is closer to anarchism than dictatorship is.
My paycheque goes into a credit union, because a credit union, ultimately run by members, is closer to anarchism than a bank is.
I shop at the locally owned grocery store in preference to the big corporate one, and the workers' coop health food store in preference to both, because local is closer to anarchism than corporate, and a workers' coop is anarchism in practice on a small scale.
I dream of a transformed world of free cooperation. I don't expect to see it in my lifetime, but I try to live in that direction.
