wiki way

The wiki way[1] is the spirit of collaboration, coöperation, togetherness, and openness without a formal structure and/or hiërarchy combined with modern technology. It is valuïng freedom of all, and uses a technological platform of a wiki, a page that anyone can edit. This is quite similar to anarchism, only virtual society instead of real life or "meatspace".

The wiki philosophy is that alone, one can do mostly nothing, however together everything can be accomplished. This reflects the Zen Buddhist koan "Two hands clapping can be heard, what is the sound of one?" and the revolucionary chant "¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!", that we cant live and survive without one another.

It is much like mutualism and proves that no society needs such things as a hiërarchy or establishment, and that such things are only an obstruction to freedom and individuality.

The Iroquois were a fully functioning anarchist society with a gift economy, lauding unity, togetherness, and coöperation, before the European Invasion.[2] The philosophy their society was based on was very much like the wiki way.
