Anarchism isn't about getting rid of leadership.
It's about asking the question if authority is justified, and if it isn't dismantling it.
Certainly there are cases where authority is justified. Just not in the case of unaccountable private dictatorships, or as they are known, corporations.

- AndyNemmity 2y agoNo. It would be justifiable to have a government at a national level democratically controlled to handle foreign policy for example. But it would be a real democracy, and would require consistent ratification from the population. Details on individual tactics like this depend on the technology and situation in existence. It's getting far easier to imagine a world where this is possible.
