    I’m not, because systems without hierarchies do not function at large scale. This is even brought up in the last paragraph, but it includes:

    just because something is complicated does not mean there is no way to do it democratically

    So, a different system than anarchy is the way forward?

    The arguments presented are incredibly bad.

    The question is asked “Are people generally good?”

    And then goes on as if the premise is now “people are universally good”

      I literally am furious at humanity in general. I took and take a series of bad luck in my life personally and want everyone else to suffer.

      I have literally decided that if there is any sort of revolution in my lifetime, I don’t care what the result is, only that I now have an opportunity to do to humanity what humanity did to me, and I will burn the resultant society to the ground because I hate you all and it’s personal.

      Either prove someone like me wrong, by proving humanity is generally good and I’m the bad guy, or lose everything when I destroy everything you worked towards. I am past caring about what you want, I only care about taking everything that everyone else truly values from them. If you are right about “people are not a good thing overall” then my murderous rage is justified.
