“Minimal Anarchy” or “Social Goods that could be provided freely or
Very cheaply with the Minimum of Labour”

Being: Phone calls from a public phone; why can’t these be free,
people in an emergency do need them (especially the poor),
and people used to hog pay phone’s anyway so its no use saying
people would hog free phones.

Food; tonnes of edible food is wasted every year by households,
businesses and especially
supermarkets. This could all be allocated to the poor with the
minimum of organisaton and effort
(or used as compost).

Transport; buses (and trains) could be run by collectives.
People could give a donation towards
fuel etc or actually drive the bus for the duration of their journey
with someone else taking over at the first person's stop
(after adequate training).

Money; no reason not to have cheap credit.
Lastly, Housing: ‘nuff said, the market creates empty properties
(and underused land) so there’s no reason why they can’t be
utilized by those who need housing.
