Portland Anarchist Road Care Fixes Potholes Anonymously (2017)
&gt; “We don’t think the city should exist; we are only limited by our capacity and our imaginations,” says PARC.<p>Cities are the most efficient way we&#x27;ve discovered to live as humans. They&#x27;re less wasteful, they consolidate resources, etc.<p>&gt; “Don’t get us wrong, we believe that many of these services are crucial for society, like healthcare, education, and maintained roadways, but we believe that the way to achieve access for all is by deconstructing the state and capitalism, as well as other coercive hierarchies that exist in our society. It is this driving philosophy that motivates our actions, not only to fix the potholes, but to take power back from the state, into the hands of the people.”<p>Centralization and urban living were invented thousands of years ago and has made these services possible and more efficient over time.
