    But it is bottom up. The feds are elected by the people, or appointed by those who were elected. Specific powers are vested in the state, county, and municipal levels. Co-equal branches were designed to prevent despotism.

    The fact that it went to shit anyway proves my point. With all the democratic accountability, checks and balances, local power, it was still corrupted and twisted into authoritarian hierarchy.

    I’ve watched plenty of videos, done plenty of reading, and what few actual structures I see presented are vulnerable to the same corrupting forces that subverted the American model.

      No, it isn’t.

      The very concept of an elected representative who has authority over a mass of others is literally a hierarchy where the elected official gains authority over the populace.

      You don’t have a point that is worth a damn because your point is uneducated and misinformed.

      Whatever you watched you didn’t understand. You clearly do not comprehend even the fundamentals of Anarchism.
