#nonhierarchy — Public Fediverse posts

Some critiques of horizontality/non-hierarchy are basically: "horizontality/non-hierarchy+ABC bad things or minus XYZ good things = some less than good/effective thing." But that's an issue of the absence of XYZ good things / the presence of ABC bad things-- not horizontality

The same could be said of many critiques of direct democracy (direct collective decision making). Direct democracy+ABC bad things or minus XYZ good things is unsurprisingly not as ethical/effective as Direct democracy + XYZ good things and minus ABC bad things.

It is when there is a gestalt of multiple liberatory processes/practices/goals that various necessary but insufficient features for liberatory organizing can meaningfully thrive and mutually qualify each other.
