Except technology will be used instead for the exact opposite — techno-fascism.

AI and technology at large are funded and developed by the corrupt elite abusing power and their position in the hierarchy, further entrenching the hierarchy and their ability to abuse it for their own interests.

Although it is possible for tech to be used for good, that is an idealistic outlook that’s unlikely to occur in reality (at least in the sense of it doing away with abuse of hierarchy).

I think that bureaucracy is inherently problematic (corrupt).

I’m fairly familiar with the notion of a direct democracy and can get behind it otherwise.

Thats kind of why I am skeptical of any communist movement that isn’t explicitly also anarchist (i.e. intending to destroy hierarchy). It leads to what you described

Well I’m glad you can say that.

In my experience there are people who defend both China and “DPRK” as a communist paragon with reasoning that is although extensive dodges any real criticism of China (from either an external standpoint, or from within a communist pov).

It was my impression that such “tankies” are the primary base of communists (or common enough for it to be a problem), which pushed me away from it.

In practice, it isn’t, usually. None of the communist states extant today or historically had a decentralized system without hierarchies.

We’re talking anarchism, not communism

Noooo “calling it “authoritarian” is meaningless”!!!

Stop “phrasemongering”, it’s “not fascism” when China pulls its shit! China also not guilty of Uyghur genocide, that’s western propaganda you racist!

Smh. Tankie propaganda was making me mad, I’m actually glad I got banned off their subs for adamantly refusing to accept their lines of reasoning for their blatant, apologetic, wholly uncritical acceptance of china.
