    So, let’s say the workers form Soviets. Those Soviets have to be destroyed, right?

    it is going to depend, isn’t it? are the soviets operated with consent and consensus?

    i already explained i have no illusions that i can dictate what it’s going to look like after the revolution. i do know what i won’t tolerate.

      So? It’s not like you’ve got consensus authority to destroy them. Though it does sound like you would try to anyway

      Is this material to whether the soviet is concentrating power? Either way you have a small group of people making legislative and executive actions.

        a system that operates with consent and consensus has no authority.

          Okay, you need to actually define authority, because I feel like each anarchist I’ve encountered has a different definition.
