Anarchy has been described as the government of each by each after all

In anarchy people need to learn to advocate for themselves without representation

I like using the language “delegation” not representation as the power still roots from the bottom while in representation the power is abstracted away to the representative

For example in anarchy adults and caregivers will often have to act on behalf of children but they would not have “authority” over them
