Thought on individual anarchism and organization

What is individual anarchism? How can one person change something if is not organized with others in formal or informal organization, or at least in a group?

If you throw one stone, it’s a punishable offence. If 1,000 stones are thrown, it’s political action. If you set a car on fire, it’s a punishable offence. If hundreds of cars are set on fire, it’s political action. Protest is when I say I don’t agree with something. Resistance is when I ensure that things with which I disagree no longer take place.(Ulrike Meinhof)

What makes difference between an individual acts that are not only punishable and recognized as criminal acts and political acts? For sure it is not only about  the massive resonance of one action, but also the target and purpose.

One person can make damage to the system and also can be anti-sistem. Everyone can be subversive element of society. Every “I” can be subversive element. What makes difference between anarchism and other forms of revolutionary organizations, is not only type of organizing, but also that anarchism recognizes individualism as a form of organization…and it can be military, too.

There are situations where if you are working class, and on your place of employment there is no organization, you are left alone in the hands of system.
