So I was reading Kevin Carson's Desktop Regulatory State, and I got to the part where he talked about networked currencies and time banks to organize barter networks.

It seems like a good idea, but I wanted to know if there were any anarchist (preferably mutualist) critiques of time banks? I know money is a controversial subject in anarchism in general, but are there any specific limitations of time banks or credit-based currency that I should know about?

So obviously, we as anarchists seek to abolish the structures of command that empower racism, such as courts, capitalism, private property, etc.

But I've been getting around to reading afropessimism, and while I'm not entirely on board, I can't help but see from personal experience and the experiences of other POC how pervasive white supremacy is as an ideology. It's so subtle as to be invisible, and it even exists in radical spaces.

So I wonder if anarchy can abolish racism *as an ideology*? How would we go about doing that? Do we believe that by abolishing structural and systemic racism, ideological racism would eventually lose steam, or would more work have to be done even then?
