I find very confusing to discuss anarchy as the opposite of hierarchy, since political Anarchy is an extremely hierarchical system of government. For example, here is a description of the social organization of CNT-ruled Catalonian villages: > "The committee is the paterfamilias. It owns everything; it directs everything. Every special desire has to be submitted to it for consideration; it alone has the final say." > "With the abolition of money, the collective held the upper hand since anyone wishing to travel had to get 'republican' money from the committee." Hierarchy is not the opposite of anarchy, but of self-organization. To reject hierarchy is to be able to act independently, not to replace the manager with a committee.
