  • So you’re saying authority is bad, until you need some authority. I agree. The argument is about being in favor of authority. I’m a historical materialist. I’m not opposed to decentralizing things when they can be, but I don’t think decentralizing things is the be all end all of of “freedom”. Trotskyists make arguments all the time against the “imperialist states of the USSR and PRC” and while I do think there’s criticism to be made about the policies they have had or continue to pursue, I don’t think any historical revolution would have been successful without some level of authority.











  • I’m at the dentist, so I cant really get into most of the points here, but this got me

    Decentralized systems are less fragile both to internal failure and external sabotage, you are all on Lemmy so you must know this when comparing it to the centralized Reddit.

    Yeah, but Lemmy is only slightly better cuz some instances have better admins. Hexbear is a Stalinist state, the authority invested in its admins and mods are what keep reactionary trash off our forum and keeps it a safe place for comrades of all kinds. You NEED authority for that
