    How authority is defined and how Engels actually logically provides an answer to the question whether organization without authority is possible

      A 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.

          It’s trivially easy to think of examples of “organisation without authority” in nature, in history, in software.

            Provide a trivially easy example that you can think of (in the concrete sense) and let’s examine it together

                I provided you not only one, but two (cotton spinning wheel and railway example), assuming you’re familiar with Engels text.

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

                  No, those aren’t examples of “organisation without authority”; they’re the opposite.

                  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’

                    Brother in Christ if this is your reading comprehension I’m not sure how to help you. I’m arguing with Engels here: Meaning organization without authority isn’t possible. How the fuck do you expect me to provide an example of organization without authority if it’s not something I believe in dipshit?

                    Provides no examples
