No, no, not at all, I'm generally quite positive towards libertarian socialism. I love Anarchist Catalonia, the Makhnovists in Ukraine, Rojava. But I do also think it's important to keep a realistic view of what such a society looks like and entails, and such societies inevitably include... well, making decisions for other people. My argument is against a utopian view of anarchy which will be dismissed by most people, even unprejudiced, and result in disillusionment when experiments fail to run as planned.

I mean, fuck, this the classic 'group project' or 'local government' issue dialed up to life-or-death. Getting people on the same page is not always easy, especially when strong personalities - with social connections - are involved.

You could say I'm taking a meme too seriously, and perhaps I am, but there are arguments laid out in this comment section which more clearly and distinctly express the exact sentiment in the meme I'm objecting to.

Nah, you're not taking a meme too seriously when the op is rampaging about the thread, telling people they're not leftist enough.
