This! This! Pynchon's self-organizing [anarchy] vision happening all over. One I'm part of in my little town.

[Mark Kohut]

Yes, we need leadership which the criminal asshole administration is not
giving....MASSIVE LEADERSHIP. Cuomo as one, but
he needs the Federales.

The simple tweet observation, and my commenting,  is on the spontaneous
groups helping others ALL OVER THESE
DERANGED UNITED STATES ...NOW.......delivering food for kids without food
NOW......(I know what is in the unpassed
bill...anyone want my summary?.....checking on the elderly in their
house.......driving people places......
communicating COVID-19 INFO.......getting
municipalities to NOT turn off water if the just-unemployed can't
pay.....or pay sewer and garbage.......

A few of us, five instant gatherer-togethers GOT THIS DONE
locally......anarchistically.....two meetings, lotsa online talk and a few
phone calls.

You and I David have gone back and forth on anarchism and ......anyone who
doesn't know this history of its deep original meaning
might enjoy learning it.....

it is what Pynchon's meaning is almost entirely.....lotsa nuance but few
degrees of ambiguity......the other degree of ambiguity is
when, as in against the Day, he uses the word as it began to be used in the
time of that novel...by the power elite and the media
......'chaos makers; bomb throwers; not just
anti-state but w violence....
