Yeah, I have a pet theory on anarchism vs ML in the west. It comes down to we’ve never had good leadership, so it’s hard for us to imagine a world where our leaders do good things, so anarchism is an easier path to map. In the global south it’s the opposite.
But I question if such an arrangement isn’t all that bad of an idea in the respective societies, counter the highly centralized power with decentralization to bring down the beast. While the global south employes centralized power structures to topple the relatively weaker governments that don’t have power without the western world pulling the strings.
I kind of see it as nature finding a balance.

This is the exact conclusion I have come to as well. Every ml group in the US just gets decapitated.
