minus-squareKimBongUn420@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-29 hours agoHow authority is defined and how Engels actually logically provides an answer to the question whether organization without authority is possible
minus-squarefrightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down6·9 hours agoA short ‘logical’ essay can give any answer in an abstract sense, but that doesn’t discount empirical examples. Always seemed to me like Engels begs the question, takes “anarchy = chaos” as a starting assumption.

I see you’re either scared to be challenged ideologically or it’s not as trivially easy as you make it seem to be.

I only see two possibilities – You need to spoonfeed you examples of “organisation without authority” because you have excessive respect for my opinion, lack of independent thought You’re playing the role of ‘hostile skeptic on the internet’
