@lucydev@rakoo i believe in stuff that can be demonstrated, i suppose. i have not seen a successful anarchist society demonstrated at scale (really any scale for that matter).
systems of hierarchy make sense to me because it's what i've seen work, and so long as the structure is kept well-balanced with equitable mobility on all levels, i believe it can work very well.
i also feel like removing any source of authority leaves the individual on their own when dealing with a personal dispute (one they may not be equipped to handle without, well, a higher-up mediator).
i find it to be a neat thought experiment, but very difficult to support under basic scrutiny.
behold, a thousand cereals. i collect cereals. it took me nine yeareals to collect the cereals. yum yum, cereals. gooood. SHUT UP!!!!! bababababa. hah sus hah sus. fuck steven universe.
@rakoo@lucydev my concern would be more how such cohesion would actually be achieved, presuming nobody has rank above another. i can conceive this working at a small scale, but not a town, much less a city, hardly an entire country.
hiiii chaaat, it's LIVE time again!! coming up wednesday and saturday is more NieR Automata, and you can tune in right now for some more TRUCKIIIIINGGG 🚚 💫 💚
@lucydev even this definition i have personal disagreements with- authority can exist without tyranny, and good leadership yields many wonderful benefits! rejecting coercion is totally reasonable, though i feel it's unfair to blanket all authority as inherently coercive.
