    It’s about a community of individuals. The individual is celebrated, but in a way that’s far more akin to Mr. Rodgers (you’re special and unique just like everyone else) rather than of say a heroic society (where the ability to command attention and stand uniquely above others is valued).

    An anarchist would say that you need to figure out how you can best contribute to your community in a way that fits with your unique self rather than taking away from it. It’s akin to a family, where various things need to be done and it’s up to the members of the household to figure out how to get it done in a way most associated with everyone’s wants and needs, but also in the discussion are the nice to haves like someone may grow an herb garden, while another household may decide nobody wants it enough to do it or push for it.
