What's this got to do with your apparent love of rigid hierarchies, exactly?
Nothing. But anarchism as a political movement is more divergent from Leninism (later rebranded by Zinovievites and Stalinists as "Luxemburgism" and "Trotskyism") on the tactical matters which I find misguided, than anything else. Also I don't love hierarchies and merely just view them through materialist optics like Engels did in "Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State", as opposed to the idealistic approach of anarchist apriorism. I've sadly seen many anarchists drift towards harmless individualism due to this rejection of a coherent (democratic) structure as a means of getting organized because "hierarchy bad" (even if the org is actually pretty horizontal)
