Reply to comment by sudo in Why do MLs believe the state will 'wither away' when historically, every socialist state got more and more tyrannical until reverting back to capitalism so the party leaders could consolidate even more power and riches? by BabyCroc
Interesting. Are you hinting that some kind of anarchist solution might work, just not many? Or am I misunderstanding you?

I think certain anarchist models would work well for small communities, like a commune of 50 people or less. But when large numbers of people are involved, those same decentralized models would be so horribly inefficient that they'd be practically nonfunctional. Centralization is necessary for large systems to function.

Okay. That's more or less my impression too. I misunderstood your prior post to hint that you thought anarchy would scale where other systems would not. My error.
