Alt-right had a big help from the corrupt media and politicians this time, otherwise their ideology may have alienated a lot of people

I actually really like the idea of community administration and feel it is one of the most effective "outcomes" of anarchism. Direct democracy would be one way to go about affecting this change, though I've always thought of two problems with that: the technological risk of online communities and online voting (risk of hacking, echo chambers, doxxing, etc...) and; that half the population is below average IQ and even more wouldn't bother putting in the time to research the issues.

In my opinion, if those two issues could be addressed, then self-rule at a community level is really possible.

Perhaps town halls need to become a thing again. No internet, and the people whom put in an effort to get out of their house and show-up to vote either have a stake in the current issue/s or care enough about the community in general, or both.
