I hear this claim a fair bit, admittedly often in communist spaces.

It is said that any group of people bigger than 50-200 people "requires" hierarchy.

I'm not sure about that.

What do anarchists make of this?

You had me until the last paragraph. I'm by no means saying you're wrong on any of this.

I disagree with militias for the same reasoning you outlined for slow decision making. The state having a monopoly on violence, is in my opinion, a better alternative to a slower decentralized defense.

Great read though, thank you.
