I mean, standing in the shoulders of giants and all that. May as well lean into the human ability to be more effective by learning from generations of experience.
Anarchism has a good deal of theory associated with how a horizontalist society can come to be and function. It very much isn't just 'vibes," even if I disagree with it.
This is the most extreme form of vibes-based politics I think I've seen in a while. By that standard, schools should not exist. This is peak anti-intellectualism to the point of absurdity.
Have you actually read anarchist theory? I have. I don't agree with it, but the idea that education is an unjustifiable hierarchy is absurd.
Unfortunately we have to live in the real world though. IMO anarchy will likely always be a direction rather than a position. I have a fearful inclination to belive that humans naturally form hierarchy and therefore we must learn how to mitigate that tendency. I can't imagine a better world appears from ignorance and vibes.
It's hard for me to imagine anarchy existing without a culture that believes in it and knows how to execute on it. That'll take a lot of hard work and knowledge to produce.
A lack of rules feels more like libertarianism than anarchism. Hierarchy will form if you just sit around and let it. Don't you agree?
The IT is basically whatever egalitarian system we know we can perpetuate. Being anti hierarchy is much more complex and active than just vibing it out.
