[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4642246, member: 63706"] Top down command structure is a logical, maybe even automatic outcome of people forming organizations. Bottom up, democratic organizations are counterintuitive because it's almost impossible for large groups of people to make good decisions, or move quickly. This is why the top down structure is repeated over and over by the most successful organizations throughout history. And yes, leaders do need to be balanced in their decisions, otherwise there are always people waiting in the wings to pounce on any perceived corruption by agitating the rabble with promises of utopia and calling for revolution against the evil ruling class. But instead of creating a worker's paradise, after they seize power in the confusion, they install their own top down command structure. So instead of somewhat corrupt but competent leaders, we end up with utterly corrupt, incompetent, psychotic leaders. Certainly no improvement there. Ever hear of too many chiefs, not enough indians? Or too many cooks spoil the broth? Those are sayings for a reason. If each worker has an equal say in decisions, you have a lot less risk of being a successful business. [/QUOTE]
