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?

    Hierarchy no. Representation yes.

    Just because someone “speaks for the group” doesn’t mean they’re above the rest of the group.

      Exactly, that’s why being able to change your rep in a heartbeat fixes so many issues
