Frustration and anger are brewing among young protesters in Nepal who helped topple the government. Groups of the mostly leaderless Gen Z protest groups have returned to the streets of the Himalayan nation.
We need a world that recognizes this reality and does everything possible to ensure that there is a very low limit to the amount of power that a single person can accumulate.
And how do you achieve that in a flat structure? That’s basically relying on local communities to all be self-correcting which feels to me like that hippie shit “why can’t we all just hold hands and get along.” Oh I don’t know because some people are going to grow up into Nazis and I am not sure that in itself is a solvable problem about humanity.
Small communities are more likely to make exceptions for people they know closely. Like church groups absolving abusive men in the clergy and grouping around them to pray for them. Groups allowed to self police rarely police themselves successfully.
So to me it sounds like you need power structures to help control the populace and stop them from doing that, and power structures invite corruption.
Through a social revolution. I do not believe that a flat structure can ever be built by a hierarchical structure, because those in power will always cling on to their power. Power corrupts. Anarchism recognizes and takes this fact into account in how we achieve our aims, rather than denying the realities of human nature.
