lol sorry for suggesting you read something that could benefit you and your community. But if you want an elevator pitch, sure:
Anarchism is all about mutual aid. The system (yes, it’s a system. It’s not “anarchy is chaos” like you seem to be implying—and like the centuries-long conditioning has made people believe) runs on community, and rejects not order, but hierarchy. You are living proof that anarchism is possible and works. You aren’t waiting for a system to tell you that you need to donate to feed the poor, you’re feeding the hungry yourself. Food Not Bombs is anarchism.
In short, anarchy isn’t the absence of order, it’s the absence of hierarchy. It’s the existence of mutual aid, and relying on community to exist and thrive. Capitalism runs on hierarchy and insists that’s natural. Nature runs on need. Just like we could.
Read Anarchism and other essays by Emma Goldman, it’s a good introduction.
