Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

hm, do you mean as concrete examples or as models?
this video series talks spotlights some horizontal projects.
as models this can be done through small bottom up unions, affinity groups, councils, cooperatives, and other forms of free association in the areas of peoples lifes and interests, which can then federate together, through agaun free association and delegation. (i can describe these ideas more in detail, if you like)
this can take the form of neighbourhood unions, trade unions, worker cooperatives, citizen militias, and mutual aide networks for sharing and distributing of resources, services, and knowledge.
i think what's really important, is the focus on the grass root, and that decisions are not made over peoples heads, but together in shared deliberation or as delegated tasks, whichs results can be revoked or disassociated from, from the ground up.
Not theoretical stuff. Organizations that are actually running right now.
that's the video series :)
as an example from my own life, i am member of an anarchist trade union. we work local first but also federate together on a national level. the union is not big in my city, so here we focus mainly on legal support and education, but afaik in other cities there are unionized work places that are part of the federation. the decisions there are also made bottom up, by the actual unionized workers, and not by union reps for them.
