    You know. I think it's okay to not read theory. You don't have to.

    But when you speak with so much authority (lol) on the correct way to do things. When you decide to debate people who have read theory. When you have an audience of thousands who listen to your bullshit. Maybe you should at least fucking read something.

    Maybe you could skip playing video games for 10 minutes to learn that On Authority is basically an 4 page Engels rant.

    If you don't read anything, then shut up and listen to people who have.

    Wanting to abolish authority in large-scale industry is tantamount to wanting to abolish industry itself, to destroy the power loom in order to return to the spinning wheel.

      but while authority will always exist i do think you can argue about how alienated the workers should be from the decision. A decision made between 20 at a workplace and 1,000 representatives 500 miles away are different
