Seize the Memes of Production
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

You don't have centralised production or centralised oversight, you have distributed systems and mutual aid.
How do you decide? Some far away central body knows best for the needs of the local people despite never being there? Are those deemed less important to suffer because statistics dictate someone else gets the goods.
Centralised production is the only option in some forms of production, is every town going to have it's own steel mill or power plant?
See the mutual aid part? That means peoples can work together for larger scale needs.
People are capable of voluntarily working together to create complex things without being ordered at gunpoint.
Anarchism is what the world had before we started forming governments. If anarchism is a good and viable means of self-governing, why is it not adopted in countries across the globe? Why is there so much history of structured society overcoming anarchy? Where are all the utopian anarchist societies today?
Destroyed by people that like hoarding power, be it capitalist or self-proclaimed "communist".
What you're calling "overcoming" is actually "backstabbing" once anarchists are no longer needed.
But it'll work this time, right?
Sure, we just need to guillotine all the people who refuse to give up their authority
