How do you do "anarchist pedagogies" in the context of formal curriculum #moocmooc ? Space for it even in specialised courses/modules?

I noticed this tweet.
It made me think.
- Is being an anarchist pedagogue enabling learners to recognise the bars of the cage?
- Is being an anarchist pedagogue enabling learners to find the doors out of the cage?
- Is being an anarchist pedagogue enabling learners to build an explosive device to destroy the cage?
- Is being an anarchist pedagogue enabling learners to ignore the bars of the cage and talk about other stuff?
- Is being an anarchist pedagogue enabling learners to design their own alternative cage?
- Is being an anarchist pedagogue enabling learners to imagine that cages are unnecessary?
- Is being an anarchist pedagogue resigning from all attempts at pedagogy and walking out of the cage?
Then I started to wonder.
- Is the cage a country?
- Is the cage an institution?
- Is the cage a community?
- Is the cage a culture?
- Is the cage a narrative?
- Is the cage a body?
I am sorry, I have more questions than answers.
I have been watching the #moocmooc hangout, people were popping up and down, in and out in their screened boxes.
I enjoyed it.
They seemed to be having fun.
Some of them didn't turn up.
Some of them were not on time.
Somebody couldn't make it to the hangout.
I was left with the thought that community is hard work.
I was left with the sound of a song.
It authentically popped up here.
My body is a cage.
No body is perfect?
PS:
I have been hopping from post to post.
I apologise for this post. I have no idea what its point is. I shall think it over while I hop...
Throw me some seed if you will.
