Not true, you can model guns in other calibers as well.

As someone who has spent a good amount of time around anarchist communities...I'll affirm that hierarchical structures will always exist. At best you'll have people who pretend they don't, and will get very mad when you point out they absolutely do still exist. You can even point out exactly how they're shaped and who is in charge and most benefits from them, but it won't matter because their sycophants will rush to defend them, argue that you're wrong, and then ostracize you. Nothing will change, and the status quo will be perfectly preserved. It's how a white middle age cis dude who was also a landlord was somehow the de facto leader of one such group. Truly revolutionary!

They like to ask "lol what's gonna happen when someone comes and steals all your stuff since police don't exist in that situation?" and yeah they think vertical hierarchies are just inherent to humans. To them, going against this is like pulling a Harrison Bergeron on a cheetah so it's not any faster than it's snail comrades.

Like I said, they have to invent ideological reasons why it happens and why is bad. They think it's a slippery slope- if that guy doesn't pay the fare, then why should I? And why should I pay taxes to go towards a system nobody is actually contributing towards? Their other gotcha is the fact that the nicest and cleanest public transit networks tend to actively engage in fare enforcement. I'm not familiar enough to get a good breakdown of quality of public transit vs fare enforcement ratio though.

I'm not talking about just one. I've been around at least a dozen directly and heard stories from probably three times as many indirectly, in different countries too. They're all exactly the same in this regard. Hierarchies are a byproduct of how we function in groups. Try building a house with 5 people and no one in charge. Don't get me wrong, the current systems of power are total garbage and need to be drastically changed, but it's been impressive to see how every anarchist group built their own system of justice that was somehow worse than the legal system currently in place in the US

The way my tiny leftish brain perceives this is that Anarchists don't like the idea of vertical hierarchies. But horizontal hierarchies are fine, ie you need a house built, some people are digging the foundation, others are hammering the frame together, plumbing the pipes, etc etc. As opposed to there's a group doing the building part and a group doing the 'owning' part I guess.

That depends on your definition of some terms. Like, even if people are separated into groups based on skills or whatever, there will still (naturally) be someone that people rally around. Either because of seniority, or knowledge, or popularity, or whatever. Like my point with the house is that if you got five people working together someone is going to end up in charge. People have to coordinate and that means either tedious discussions about every little detail, or someone who decides on what needs to get done and how. Even if you have an architect lay out the building plan, you still need to get people working on the right things at the right time and someone is going to find themselves in that role sooner or later even if they don’t try. Some would argue that that’s a vertical hierarchy

Who decides where the houses go? Who decides if we even need houses? Even if those internal orderings don’t count as a vertical hierarchy, someone needs to coordinate how all the different groups work together. Direct democracy is tedious as gently caress. I’ve sat in on four hour meetings where all twenty people involved needed to add their own little suggestion to a project that wasn’t scheduled for another three months and never got started anyway because petty drama brought the place to a grinding halt for six months. And if you’re not doing direct democracy, then someone’s gonna be making decisions for other people. Whether specifically chosen or just falling into that role because other people rally around them, isn’t that a vertical hierarchy?

e: Anyway, this probably isn’t the place for writing so much text about dumb activist poo poo. Let’s just say there are plenty of idiots off social media too, me chief among them, and leave it at that

I think the other issues with commune type drama is how different personalities mesh. Like if you worked in a group with 9 other exact duplicates of yourself you know exactly how each of you works, strengths, etc and can mutually act in good faith with each other. But in the real world some people are more motivated and determined than others, and some people are more passive.

The stereotype about anarcho communists is that they're lazy layabouts that expect everyone else to do all the real work. And while that can be true in some circumstances, it can also be a kind of projection- ANYONE is going to support and defend a system where they don't have to do more than they want. People who support strict vertical Heirarchies tend to do so because they benefit from that status quo.

After all, why would a non idiot willingly push for a system that would put them at the bottom?
