    I know you have trouble grasping the concept of authority. That’s like… your whole deal. Just imagine being a Marxist without all the vanguard party and replacing the bourgeoisie with a class of bureaucrats bullshit.

    Cybersyn can’t have been centrally planned btw, as central planning violates Ashby’s Law of Requisite Variety.

      I don’t have trouble grasping the concept of authority, I adhere to the Marxist analysis of it. Vanguards replacing capitalist dictatorships of the bourgeoisie with socialist states is a good thing, and has led to dramatic improvements in the lives of billions of working people.

      Cybersyn was centrally planned, input from the bottom was fed to higher rungs that returned with advice and decisions.
