I hear this claim a fair bit, admittedly often in communist spaces.
It is said that any group of people bigger than 50-200 people “requires” hierarchy.
I’m not sure about that.
What do anarchists make of this?

My questions:
Wouldn’t delegation being time-bound introduce inefficiencies into the system? Like how alternating 4-year presidencies in modern ‘democracies’ leads to a back and forth in policy?
It also occurs to me that decision-making is done via funnelling delegates out of various sub-groups, and then require these delegates to agree on a decision for it to be made. My concern is that this process seems like it could easily drown out minority voices. How would vulnerable populations have their rights protected in such a setup?
Why is free association important? Or rather, how does it secure against people being forced to work against their will, as mentioned?
asking to understand.
