Please direct me to any discussion where anarchists discuss how to deal with powerhungry people and(or) egonaniacs, or a book or a blog post.
And about my statement being reductive, yes it is, and no it is not because I don’t know my history it’s because of it. It’s easy to discuss how to manage a socialist country if you just conveniently forget why it never materialises. Or so I think, and that is for me the biggest hurdle and thus my biggest concern to how to implement socialism, or anarchism. I actually grew up in the only real soc/com country ever (some people argue at least), sweden back in the day, and it had a whole lot of problems too, but it stopped being soc all by itself.
So no I’m not attacking anyone, I’m just expressing my concerns.
I find this video by Andrewism to be a good introduction to how anarchy can be organized.
This article focuses more on defending an anarchist society from an external military threat, but has relevant discussion of how to defend the social structures more specifically as well.
The question of how to deal with power hungry people is fundamentally the same question as how do you prevent the establishment of hierarchy in the first place. That is essentially the foundational question of anarchist political theory, so any writing on anarchism is relevant to this.
Okay so nice video, but again I failed to find any info about how to handle egomaniacs & power hungry people.
But it made me think, I might have a better way to make you see what I mean. How would you integrate someone like me? Force me? Ban me (like that communist sub)? “Make me” understand?
That’s IMO the biggest problem with those types of ah ways to live.
So thanks again but still absolutely not convinced it’s viable. I will continue looking, because capitalism isn’t the future we want and democracy can be better.
You are asking me to give you a simple answer to a question that does not have one. As I said before, that problem is foundational to anarchist theory, and the entirety of anarchist discourse is dedicated to solving it. Directing you to writings by anarchists discussing how to organize and defend an anarchic form of society is the best I can do. David Graeber is a prominent anarchist writer and anthropologist that I highly recommend checking out.
You may as well be asking me to solve death. Death is a fact, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything possible to fend it off for as long as possible.
