Don't you know that any potential leader is probably just a grifter? If you want to build an effective leftist movement, you have to have no leaders whatsoever. Directionless resentment is surely the only way forward.

    That is why I said soviet. We are talking about two different things.

    Engineers do have rule over who can work on a bridge. Name a bridge that was built without a foreman. I never said anarchy was doing whatever you want. Direct democracy can't apply everywhere and at all times. There have to be leaders.

      Most foremen are in a temporary position that's assigned by the union. Even under capitalism foreman is a temporary position of power with a very specific purview.

      I'm sorry you didnt say anarchy is doing whatever you want, you said anarchy is picking a new person to try to build a bridge every other day. Wow the anarchy understander has arrived my apologies.
