    My favorite is when people admit it works in small groups but doesn’t scale. It’s an amazingly defeatist attitude.

      The problem stems from centralization. A commander sits at the top of trillions of people is fundamentally wrong, no matter how good he or she is. No one single human shall have that big of an influence to another human.

      But those fucking defeatists are disgusting. No one is asking them to solve the problem. Just shut the fuck up when someone else is solving the problems. That’s the least they shall be doing.

        To be fair, the idea that someone is supposed to sit at the top of society is a fundamental misunderstanding of socialism past, present, and future.
