Quexotic comments on Reddit CEO says the mods leading a punishing blackout are too powerful and he will change the site's rules to weaken them

I would not have guessed that it would have a name. ... I mean, I should have.

Thank you for supplying me with a rabbit hole from which I'm unlikely to surface anytime soon.

I did a little research and it sounds like that's definitely a very important part of anarco syndicalism. Is it truly the main feature of it?

Glad I could help! Like all things there’s more to it, but the basic concept is to fire all bosses and have the workers run all the work places as a co-op. Personally, I believe this would end ‘greedflation’ and definitely make the world a better place :)

I mean you could still have greedy workers, but they'd be responsible for their destiny. The co-op could price their products or services out of reach of customers and consumers, but sharing the fruits of their labor shares that responsibility.

I feel it would make more sense to do it like the Romans did, compelled leadership by round robin IIRC. That, or elected leadership. I think it's important to have a focused job that does decision making for the good of the group.

Anarchy never really appealed to me. It always felt like a lot of anxiety. Also I suspect that our species won't survive unless we can all unite, so there's that...

Edit: Also, forgot to link, Robert Reich on inflation and corporate profits.
