I made a post on hierarchy a month ago but I have some more specific questions now.
I’ve been hit with the claim that mass production industries that are needed today would not be possible without a hierarchy. That due to regional limitations and the logistics of smartphone manufacturing, technology cannot be produced on the needed scale without a hierarchy of managers.
This is quoted in PCB fabrication, as well as other areas such as medicine and other mass produced goods.
It is also said that managers are needed for efficiency, though I don’t understand that.
Because the anarchist movement, abolishing hierarchy, “runs counter” to the “global direction of humanity and progress”, it is acclaimed to being “doomed to failure” and “idealist”.
What would be the anarchist response to this? Would appreciate detailed responses and/or resources.
I want to improve my anarchist understanding
Worker’s cooperatives can and do run factories lol
Globally? As in beyond just local-level set ups. Cause they need to be able to do the international logistics to compile all the respective pieces of computers, or smn.

It’s well known that people cannot collaborate long distance without coercive violent threats. I’ll fucking kill you if you disagree.
