I'm Roman Catholic myself, but politically I call myself an anarchist or at least a left wing libertarian. I believe in what I believe, but I also have a sense of acceptance and respect for those of other beliefs.
I like communities like Twin Oaks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGv50uYUHJw and their communist-like society. I would very much practice my own Catholic belief while living in co-existence with others, despite their beliefs. If done in this way, is Anarchism and Christianity compatible, or is my understanding/interpretation of Roman Catholicism too far off the beaten path for it to be relevant?
I've had the good fortune of meeting several members of the Twin Oaks Community. They're pretty close by. They're good people. I'm pretty sure I remember hearing at one point that some of them are Christians. Christianity and anarchism are definitely compatible, with Christian anarchism being a thing, and among Catholicism specifically there is liberation theology, which has had a rather large following in Latin America.
Close by? I grew up in rural Virginia. Where are you?
