 if your job won't let you strike for a week, they don't want you.

 no, I'm not gonna start shit.
 
 no, I don't know jack shit.
 
 no, I won't tell you names because I don't know any.
 
 perks of being an individual. what do you gain from following me? just talk to
 me on the street.
 
 I am not the fist, I am the spirit.

 this is the simplest implementation of scalable anarchism I could think of.
 tell me how it's flawed so I can improve it before I need it.
algorism is a political and economic philosophy designed to wrest power from those who may be corrupted by it, and restore dignity and agency to all of humanity.  It accomplishes this through several layers of abstraction, of votes, of control, of decisions. What do people need? How could we improve? Is there something more we could do?  The idea is to negate bureaucracy by accomplishing goals in an ad-hoc fashion rather than rely on legalism for institutional execution. Projects, not operations.  Society shall be organized into tiers of rotating peers chosen by vote. Each tier sends their top two most voted for up a level to the next tier of organization. the duty of each tier is to provide for the needs and accomplish the demands of each of their lower tier allies. In addition they should provide what they can to their representatives, who offer them on the tier above.  If a need or demand cannot be met by the team of reps, the request is passed upward. This process can be accomplished with paper and pencil, but it's much better to automate and be public.  If desired, there is a queue system to help with the allocation of resources. This system rewards patience and conservation while still allowing for rapid acquisition. Pick two: good, cheap, fast.  It includes also a recycling system - the more you give back in clean and working order, the greater the options available to you.  It is a system of distribution, not control.

 @user-1268 
 
 my mother would knit square wash-cloths with coarse yarn. My memories hold
 plenty of colorful patches of knit fabric. they work well as a sponge
 replacement because you can throw them in the wash instead of the trash. plus
 they're good practice for people learning to knit, or practicing a new pattern,
 or switching colors, or whatever interesting thing you're learning.
 
 if I remember correctly, the kind that worked best felt "knotty" with holes in
 the middle. I don't know how she made them but a knitter might be able to tell
 you.
 
 it's a sponge-replacement, not a brush. so, not what you asked for, but related.

 yes they last quite a while. a year or three if you only have a few, but she
 couldn't stop knitting them so we had some that were close to a decade old.
