For most people, to get food - requires making money, and making money requires either to be exploited or to exploit someone else. Therefore, if you really want to achieve the anarchism (even if on a smaller scale), the primary need that you will have to resolve - is a need of food. To resolve it more easily, either buy a cheap large plot of land or expropriate an abandoned one, then plant a shitload of food trees / shrubs / wild edible permaculture plants, to eventually get food without much efforts / upkeep. One such example - aside of frost-resistant apples/pears with long shelf life - seems to be the walnuts: english walnut, black walnut, etc (though you need to consider that many plants are intolerant to juglone that they produce, so you need to plan the neighbour plants wisely), also those oaks species that have not-bitter acorns and dont need a prolonged soaking to make them edible. Last autumn I bought around 2 hundred of fresh black walnut seeds (still in their hulls) from a guy over the Internet, and put them into 1 hundred pots made of 25L plastic beer kegs (could obtain for free if you have any nearby bar - then you just release the gas, make a few holes in the bottom to let the excessive water escape). Each pot has a small layer of ceramsite+sand in the bottom, and then a soil of around 6 pH mixed with some perlite. Since I ran out of pots, had to put around 2 walnuts per each pot. I let them stay outside in the pots during the winter, and now they start sprouting. Just a few days ago I saw just 2 sprouts, but now there are 50 sprouts and more are coming 😁 Small inconvenience is some pots have no sprouts while the others have a pair, but that's possible to fix without touching the existing pots if I just get more of beer kegs as well as a stuff to fill them If I were to sell them, in such a large pot, each black walnut sapling could be sold for at least ~28 USD, while a pot (if bought instead of DIY made) together with a filler and two walnuts - costs around ~7 USD, therefore its safe to say that - if sold - a potential profit is already ~1k USD, with just a little time/efforts investment. But its more interesting to use these trees for liberation purposes rather than a quick money-making (ensure that escaping the system of exploitation is more easy, rather than trying to make your place in this system a more comfortable one). Hope this helps ^_^
