Hello all, I am wondering can you point me to reading material or share ideas on how manifacure of medicine(and other things currently requiring complex supply chains) can be achieved in anarchist society?

    I’ve been waiting to reshare this link!!!

    Its very, very out there, but they have developed solutions for manufacturing cure for hep B, etc cheaply and effectively using stuff you can get cheaply - or steal. They also have a full suite for, exploring production pathways and refining them. They do a lot and at some point I’ll put together a Lemmy post about them and what they do, if you are a scientist/developer they really need those skills!

    This, unlike other examples which will be posted in this thread, is a good example of direct action. And I feel looking at examples like this is a much better way to understanding anarchist societies, since we seek to build a new world inside the old - and eventually supersede the old one.

      I actually use their technology to look into the complexity of certain medications, and how many steps it would take to create (drug). The thing is, a shocking amount of things are very, very simple to create, and would take hardly any effort.

      I hate how cheap it is to make the ADHD medication I need, and how controlled the process is.
