    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.

      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.
