decentralization is defined as “the transfer of control of an activity or organization to several local offices or authorities rather than one single one.”

if you don’t know how organizations or governments or words function, that sounds like perfect autonomy.

it’s not. https://twitter.com/blksknlenincccp/status/1330220813149200385

because the anarchist conception of power — and thus the state — is metaphysical rather than scientific, they conflate any authority over them with tyranny.

this blinds them to the reality of organization: it’s parts, no matter how “decentralized” function to maintain the whole.

beyond the infrastructural limitations of a militant movement with perfect autonomy (lack of robust and reliable logistics, intelligence, etc), the ultra-left program will only function to produce an economic order with so much partisan miscellany that the distribution of rights

and liberties are just as uneven as under the one that came before, if not more so — given how civilization gets built, functions, and is maintained

the crucial thing to understand about any body, biological or institutional, is that all parts function toward a singular mission.

your brain works with your heart and lungs and limbs to keep your body alive. your organs can only have so much autonomy before your body begins to fall apart and die.

it’s the same with social organizations: at some point, too much autonomy begins to corrupt the whole body.

degradation and chauvinism bubble up from inside liberal agitators bc their is no greater popular authority to hold them accountable. priorities shift, the cell slowly starts to drift away from the party line, and in an instant the coalition is made even more vulnerable to

infiltration and destruction.

“centralization” doesn’t mean that one body has complete authority over all organizational functions, that’s just literally impossible to do. decentralization just means that each part of the organization are working toward a singular goal.

every army in the world is decentralized, bc if they weren’t it would be easy to destroy them.

centralization is defined by different — yet interconnected apparatuses — working in unison toward a common goal.

there’s no single person alive in any liberal bourgeois government

with the authority to unilaterally command all the functions of the state. kings weren’t even capable of this.

we literally have governors and parliamentarians who openly defy the POTUS, who is supposedly the most powerful person in the world.

decentralization doesn’t grant perfect autonomy, especially to individuals, it allows different departments of an organization the freedom to work toward goals without having to run every decision by whomever is appointed to higher leadership and centralization doesn’t have to

mean that the will of groups of people are rendered subservient to the leaders of a mass movement — who have always historically been chosen by popular majority.

further, the contemporary anarchist program is ultra-left, functionally liberal and, thus, petite bourgeois

localized autonomy for individuals in one region while another is left to suffer (which is the invariable result of allowing groups of self-interested individuals to dictate the direction of movements) is not communism.

there has only been like, one successful anarchist

revolution and it only lasted for like five minutes... and the only reason it lasted that long is because the spanish state was distracted by wartime economics.

more fundamentally, anarchism (which isn’t even actually a word) is a political ideology, not a dialectical method.

anarchy it isn’t something you do, it’s something you achieve through a scientific process.

you cannot go from state to non-State, logically or dialectically.

and even if you could, i have much more confidence in an “authoritarian communist party” to keep me and mine safe than

folks who want to do monopolies protected through assassinations carried out by horizontally organized death squads.

the notion that you can have perfect autonomy and destroy a highly organized enemy is to be out of touch with the reality of power.
