I made a post on hierarchy a month ago but I have some more specific questions now.
I’ve been hit with the claim that mass production industries that are needed today would not be possible without a hierarchy. That due to regional limitations and the logistics of smartphone manufacturing, technology cannot be produced on the needed scale without a hierarchy of managers.
This is quoted in PCB fabrication, as well as other areas such as medicine and other mass produced goods.
It is also said that managers are needed for efficiency, though I don’t understand that.
Because the anarchist movement, abolishing hierarchy, “runs counter” to the “global direction of humanity and progress”, it is acclaimed to being “doomed to failure” and “idealist”.
What would be the anarchist response to this? Would appreciate detailed responses and/or resources.
I want to improve my anarchist understanding
Isn’t that suggesting abolishing the internet and technology? Like primitivism, going back to pre-technological times.
People have jobs far away they need cars for transport to access and entertainment is considered a need, though it doesn’t need to be in 4k lol.
The reason we “need” cars for jobs is because we made society with cars in mind. We might as well transform society into having people in mind. Also, jobs is a consequence of capitalism, so we can transform that into people having responsibilities.
People was able to entertain themselves before mass media, it was just different. A characteristics was that they relied on their imagination to a much larger degree.
