While coercion is a significant factor in oppressive structures, there are other mechanisms, such as economic exploitation and social hierarchies, that can maintain oppressive systems without explicit coercion. People often do not have the option to simply "leave" oppressive structures due to systemic barriers such as economic dependence or lack of viable alternatives.

@Radical_EgoCom Economic exploitations is unfeasable without coercion, so with social hierarchies. IMO @rsf92 You are right in saying that economic exploitation is impossible without coercion, but there are also other systemic barriers that prevent people from just leaving their exploitation. @Radical_EgoCom poverty is one, prob. But, absent institutionalised coerciΓ³n, I don't think anything can stop the organic development of societal forms Either way, we probabhy agree on many things, let's not Focus on what separates our thougth |

The transition to communism requires active dismantling of existing power structures and redistribution of resources, which won't occur organically without collective action and organization, which is why it's important to view Anarchism and Communism as interconnected ideologies that share the goal of dismantling oppressive structures and promoting collective liberation.
