Wouldn't that disagree with your ai generated notion of authority, if someone is appointed to facilitate it through a democratic mechanism?
Wait, do they not do that at anarchist meetings?
a lot of the meetings that I go to are pretty much organized as do-ocracies. someone says they are willing to do the work of taking notes or do the work of facilitating, and everybody's relieved that they didn't have to step up.
That doesn't sound consensus based or consent based at all, lol, you don't even have a democratically elected and instantly recallable committee to assign the work? Damn, anarchists are out here having more hierarchy in their political structure than the tankies.
Earnestly: while we live in a deeply stratified society, if you dont intentionally form power structures informal, incredibly undemocratic ones will fill that void, as is this case with what you're describing.
I mostly organize with mlms, actually. they are far more prevalent in my local scene
