But that’s what people say about bosses. You don’t like this one, go get a different one. I’m not understanding the difference in terms of hierarchy and power and so on.
If you don’t understand the difference between a boss and a tradesman that you called, then I’m out. Either you’re too dense to understand, which would make explaining a waste of time, OR you’re just sealioning, as i suspect, which would make explaining a waste of time.
I believe most anarchists are against unjustifiable hierarchies.
If you want to consider the dynamic between a tradesman and their customer as a hierarchy, it’s justifiable because it’s one person who is an expert in their trade, working on that trade for something in return. Both parties have consented to this temporary “hierarchy” in order for both parties to receive their desired outcomes.
Now if we want to talk about HOAs… Add them, and their ability to come in and say, “you can’t use that color paint,” and you now have a completely unjustifiable (imo) hierarchy.
Sorry for the delay, I tend to neglect my comment reply notices…
I believe I said in another comment in this thread that I recommend reading, “Anarchism and other Essays” by Emma Goldman, and, “The Conquest of Bread,” by Piotr Kropotkin.
“Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution” by Kropotkin is also very good.
I know that theory can be boring, but I’ve found both Kropotkin and Goldman to be very compelling reads… Just make sure you have a pencil or highlighter ready, because so much shit hits home
It doesn’t seem that different, in essence. He could withhold his service and let my bathroom flood.
And you call a different plumber.

Okay. Maybe someone else can explain.

That makes sense. Is there some way to determine what is justified and what’s not?
