I would personally frame this as the important issue being the mechanism by which authority is given and can be revoked, because if such a mechanism is democratic (and extended to production) then suddenly it's much less of a problem than in our undemocratic society where politicians answer only to donors and donors answer only to capital.
Absolutely. Temporary, task based authority that only extends to your skill set and can be easily revoked if you're caught being a corrupt little power piggy.
