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?

    I would like to add that some anarchist tendencies are less decentralized, but still aim to be non hierarchical. They often use direct democracy for decision making and delegation (which can be revoked at any time) for tasks. So for example big syndicalist unions or big anarchist organizations (which are tbh rare).
