There is no such thing as human organisation without leadership.
Having a "Board of Directors" is how we do it.
The community elects the board, and the job of the board is to figure out how to do what the community wants. Absolutely no hierarchy or leadership (except from within the community).
Lol! You don't even have an anarchist society yet, and you already want to hand fancy-sounding titles out?
Care for a suggestion?
The concept of a leader is an intentionally vague and next-to-meaningless idea in our hierarchical society - despite the fact that people lead and follow in our societies all the damn time.
Perhaps it behoves anarchists to actually go back to the drawing board on this one and actually redefine what it means to be both a "leader" and a "follower"?
Brother, you need to look up what a starfish enterprise is. Leaderless organizations exist right fucking now.
Googling gets me a few companies with that exact name but no general concept of what that is.
We are not related.
No. It doesn't.
