    I mean “anarchism” is an extremely broad label, to the point of almost being as meaningless as calling oneself a leftist or marxist. A lot of anarchists are pro-direct-democracy, which isn’t consensus based. A specific example is the “inclusive democracy” movement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusive_Democracy

    We have to remember, these labels are all abstractions, they aren’t real concrete relations. They’re just ways that humans divide up and name the world for ease of use.

        Basically it’s a framework that defines 4 spheres of democracy: politics, economic, social, and ecological.

        Or roughly speaking, democracy in government, democracy at work, democracy in the home, and democracy in relation to the natural environment.
