When the traditional state failed in Somalia, warlords and traditional patriarchal clan structures took its place. If you don’t have parallel institutions ready, that’s exactly what will happen anywhere else - warlords and local traditions of conflict resolution, which are often not in-line with anarchist ideals.

Regarding Somalia I think a larger influence was/is external colonial powers who are greatly incentivized to build systemic systems of oppression that are leveraged to create out groups and encourage genocide. Specifically the Isaaq.

These systems you're explaining though, they organize themselves from mutual aid groups currently doing the work. We're in agreement. I just wanted to express the fact that every person practices self governance in their day to day life. Being like Rojava, it builds from a pattern of collaboration. Self governance is a habit. Jineology is a prime example of that. Plus, believe it or not, femme bodied people are often the best shots.....

I actually remember reading at one point that it was speculated that there was a biomechanical reason for that. Something about sexual development giving women's bodies on average innately better balance than men, I think, but it's been a long time since I've read it.
