is revolution not putting the authority of the people over those in power, and bringing those people low? that's "hierarchy"

yes because it's not anything intelligent enough to be thoughtfully argued against. a 7 year old could see the holes in such an idea

well that's just childish isn't it

there's a trend towards that, which can be combatted & has been by communist parties. Stalin had a pretty incoherent plan to combat rightist tendencies within the communist party, assuming the problem stemmed from external meddling. Mao actually shared your view in that bureaucracy rots socialism, and that it needs to be decreased as the people are helped towards being self reliant, ready to self manage the economy & have suitable industry to run the country with. that's why the cultural revolution happened, to fight bureaucracy

maoists??? I think you should read anything by mao. he was anything but "authoritarian", he spend most of his time after 1949 taking a sledgehammer to bureaucracy & encouraging communities to be self reliant

what is "authoritarianism" to you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

well socialism has the proletariat as the ruling class, this is true in Marxism & anarchism even if anarchists word it differently
