I guess similarly, how do you actually deal with the "Individual people are not actually naturally equal in their capacities", problem?

Are these even questions that people who are Anarchists care about, or what?

I'm genuinely not trying to start a "thing" here, these are just questions that I feel like I've honestly just never got substantive answers on regarding Left-Anarchist political philosophy.

    Demagoguery is the easiest. Either you deliver or you don’t. You can’t just talk shit. Oh you found ten people who agree with you? Go do your stuff for free, if you can’t convince the rest of people to support you, you don’t get the labor value as you are doing something seen as useless.

    Avoidance or mediation. How do people deal with interpersonal prejudice now?

    Cliques doesn’t seem like an issue easily dealt with, you can only introduce constant intermixing of people in assignments. But same is true everywhere.

    Equal in capacities - eh, same true with communism, I don’t think people figured out consistent/fair way to do distribution based on productivity. You either do flat hours (everyone equal), flat hours or production norm (productive workers finish earlier), production output as a part of whole output (might be discouraging for less productive workers), or weaker link between productivity and compensation (like do 20 percent more receive 10 percent more)

      is it the role of the society at large to prevent cliques. That's just how well people get on I'd argue they should handle that themselves

        "How well people get on", can be innocuous, it can also be a way by which to monopolize social & political power.

          are we meaning the same thing by cliques because when i hear clique I think of a friend group that aren't very open to outsiders of the friend group. Kind of mean not really much of a social ill on the macro scale
