It’s an interesting choice because Steve is a right-wing nutjob himself.

I mean, of all the things you could pull out about Steve Harvey, this is about the tamest.

This reads like a manager who’s stressing out about being too busy at work, and his therapist told him to write a letter and not hit send, and then he hit send.

Steve Harvey, a wealthy person who wants for nothing steps all over other people’s feelings? How unexpected.

“That depends, is capitalism still intrinsically hierarchical?”

Anarchists are rarely the “no government” people the media portrays them as. Generally it’s an understanding that hierarchy is inharently bad, though still sometimes required. From there it can go any number of directions.

I appreciate you want to understand. For a bit more research for yourself, I’m actually an anarcho-syndicalist. I’m also pretty unique even within that ideology, fwiw. What I imagine is a socialist library economy, in which the librarians are elected and the library is the primary method of distributing goods. The librarians are also responsible for managing and automating work and food production. I imagine a solarpunk society where communities are mostly self sustaining but also interdependent. I imagine a world that has no need for money.

I also imagine that unions represent both their communities and the workers within the community and that all managers within workplaces are elected. When the many various dealings happen between communities, I imagine something similar to haudenosaunee council meetings. Each community sends a proportional bargaining committee of their population, and the largest communities must reach consensus between and with each other before being decided on by and between consensus from the smaller communities. Tentative agreements must then be voted and ratified through simple majority by all communities to be considered participants in the contracts. I’m sure people will say “that’s too slow”. To that I say, you’ve never seen how quick a union can turn around an emergency meeting.

I might be too ignorant to put this in the proper context, but what do you make of the so-called Beefsteak Nazis (i.e. leftists who joined the Nazis)? Not to say the Nazis were in any way authentically leftist, but they did use leftist rhetoric (see Strasserism) to get left-wing, working class support.
