That doesn't pass the sniff test for me. The smallest possible human "community" would be a single family, and families are definitely coercive and hierarchical

- pif 3y agoIn a single family, you have parents and toddlers. Coercion and hierarchy are there for education. What we are talking here is a community of adult people.
- krapp 3y agoChildren becoming fully independent from the authority of their parents and relatives at a certain age is a uniquely modern, American idea. Everywhere else, and throughout the rest of human history, hierarchies of age and blood relation tend to be immutable and pervasive.
- TotalCrackpot 3y agoParenting doesn't have to be hierarchical. Giving support doesn't constitute hierarchy is the sense that anarchists use the term.
