I don't want to achieve communism. No more make believe bullshit systems. Anarchy doesn't require "ownership" or labor. Everyone just takes care of everyone else.

Not all Anarchists are the same, but most are Anarcho-Communists and reject states, classes, money, wage labour, (commercial) property, and believe in everyone being taken care of. In this way Anarchism and (real) Communism are the absence of a system, even a sort of anti-system, because they see imposed systems as the problem.

However, you are right that 'ownership' even 'common ownership' is open to misinterpretation. Could you suggest a better term to contrast this with authoritarianism?

Yeah imposed systems don't work and they're subject to entropy. They will eventually break down.

Hmmm... Well, you really can't "own" anything because we die. Personal belongings works better, which would be your toothbrush, comb, and any other non shareable personal grooming items (health reasons) and I've always liked "the commons" for public/non private spaces.

Thanks. I've updated some of the wording and the table to clarify this.

We seem to be on the same wavelength - I was just working on another article in which I wrote, 'hierarchy is subject to entropy'

You're welcome😊 Cool. Aye, we do. Lol. Yep and when I learned about entropy it scared me pretty badly. I mean look at all the imaginary systems imposed upon us and nature, all of them are breaking down now. It's not pretty and it's going to get much worse😢
