Practically Speaking: Anarchism and Christianity in Word and Deed

Anarchists and Christians have the common bond of being labeled "dreamers" in both the negative and positive senses of the word. To those who deem our ideas impractical, we are living in a fantasy world with nice but unrealistic goals. For those of us who bare these labels, our dreams are a vision for another way of structuring our societies and living more fully with one another. They are ideas built not only on a history of thought, but also on the examples we’ve seen of these ideas in practice.
In this year’s two-day conference we will explore practical applications of Anarchist & Christian thought, in addition to our conversations on our ideologies and beliefs. Some of the topics to be presented and discussed include, Anarchism and Technology (Bolivia), Economic Resistance, Anarchy in Action (Chiapas, Mexico), and Capitalism as a Religion. A footwashing service, a screening of "The Take"—a documentary on the worker movement in Argentina, and opportunities to network with other attendees are also a part of this event.
Registration for the event is free. Housing is available. Meals will be provided.

Could you , please, give an example of ONE society which has been existing for comparatively substantial while of time on anarchist ideals ( in their practical realization)? Please, within not later than two last centuries. |

Madagascar.
Yale Anthropologist who lived in Madagscar, David Graeber has a book on it called, "Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology."
Many more examples could be given...see Harold Barclay: "People Without Government: An Anthology of Anarchy." |
