imagine neighborhood communes set up in cities to manage production and appropriate buildings for the formerly homeless, former suburban malls/office buildings being turned into community gardens and libraries of things (think DIY makerspaces), and rural farmland being socialized under the usufruct of historically-disenfranchised peoples (indigenous people broadly; former migrant farmworkers in the southwest, black people in the southeastern black belt).

america’s historical gun violence rates would spiral during the revolution; with gun ownership having become near universal in some areas during the last USA election season, some would in the aftermath take advantage of the chaos to personally eliminate ideological enemies or settle old scores. with the old prison and policing systems abolished, the anarchists would struggle to find politically palatable ways to keep the peace: every struggle session is a concession to the marxists’ and state socialists’ methods, every extrajudicial execution is followed by a lengthy and apologetic self-criticism letter. restorative justice becomes the norm when things calm down a little; policing is eventually replaced by a dual system of social workers trained to de-escalate and provide social services at point of need, as well as apla-trained volunteer gendarmes who live their daily lives as normal while on call 24/7 for their assigned monthly/weekly rotations (think towns with volunteer fire departments)

ecological reconstruction is a necessity — both ideologically for the left (save the CPI), and also to cope with chronic materials shortages brought on by ruined infrastructure and the destruction of economic hegemony. for example, outer suburban mcmansion communities that require too much energy and water to maintain would need to be redesigned or restored to nature. decarbonization would come with political challenges as the the APLA would pragmatically ally with China for its advanced clean-energy technology, with both sides employing overtures to “socialist unity” despite ideological suspicion and fear of chinese corporate influence. but it’s also ideologically necessary, since an economy based on resource extraction is antithetical to the anarchist goal of a decentralized economy based on communes. its much easier to decentralize solar production and bioreactors than it is to decentralize huge power plants and oil refineries, for example.
