A main point of Max's article is that we already have anarchy,
so there's no need to establish it. To me it seems that coercive
political systems are complete hoaxes. Deep Anarchy is the
view you have once you recognize the deep nature of coercive
political systems.

The purpose of the list probably needs to include exploring
what strategies and tactics may be necessary to persuade
people to adopt the Deep-Anarchy view. And once people
have the Deep-Anarchy view, what freedom strategies should
they practice?

Maybe, what needs to be looked at and seen is that the
individuals who masquerade as "government" (so-called)
are engaged in a gigantic hoax. How can anyone form a
different conclusion after studying Max's article?

Initially the list could be promoted to libertarian and
anarcho-capitalist types. After it has 100+ subscribers
and has been going for a month or two, it could also
be promoted to other anarchists.

Maybe means can be found to bridge the gap between
right and left anarchists. In an anarcho-capitalist world
with property rights, left anarchists can acquire property
and can, on that property, implement socialist systems.
Provided they don't attempt to coercively impose their
systems on others, they wouldn't disturb harmony.

The list guidelines could spell out how right and left
anarchists might coexist harmoniously. Attacks between
right and left anarchists would be discouraged. The list
would be moderated.
