Even in conversation with other leftists I hear people talk about how so and so doesn’t have good leadership skills or want someone to be a better leader. It’s getting to me in a way I probably shouldn’t allow it to, but I feel like that mentality is antithetical to the goal of communism and will only delay its arrival. How do we change that rhetoric?

I’m hoping this is the right comm for this sort of post, please direct me if a more suitable place exists.

Edit: I’m not specifically talking about politics. I’m also talking about leadership talk in the workplace.

    Again. If you go and try to remove the cornerstone or a building because you want to change the aesthetic and the architect says “that will cause building to collapse”, and you go to do it anyway, then who is going to stop you if you refuse to comply with the advice?

      Well the people that are benefiting from that orphanage would not be very happy and probably would stop you.

      And on a more metaphorical level in an anarchist society no one person should have the power to ruin what it too the whole community to build.

      By you not wanting the architect to impose his better judgement on you, you are imposing your stupidity on other people, and they in turn have the same right to reject your ability to do so.

      The point is precisely not to remove the stone if someone with pertinent knowledge/expertise/whatever says it’s a bad thing, because then their authority makes temporarily sense.
