I’m such a nonconformist that I don’t conform to your nonconformity. If you destroy the system a new system will take its place since people still need food, water, waste management and the like. Also people getting together, organizing to destroy the system is itself a system.
Actually, centralization of management creates a lot of benefits in communication flow, resource allocation and operating efficiency. Lack of centralization results in confusion and task duplication.

This sounds a communication problem, not a system problem. Decentralized systems are good at adapting to changing environments and are typically harder to destroy.
If the complex systems theory side of organisation interests you i would recommend you to check out the desktop regulatory state..
I mean, my political interest tends more towards “what’s the best tangible next step forward” rather than “what’s the ideal way to organize society in theory”. But generally speaking, I’d suggest it be organized from the bottom up through confederations of directly democratic bodies like workers’ councils and municipalities, making decisions via consensus and recallable delegates.
All i’m saying is there’s still going to be a system, value, value creation, value distribution and so on. How will we motivate people to do work that is needed that people simply do not want to do? How do we manage supply and demand? Capitalism or any other system still had to manage real world value, labor, and demand as well as human behavior.
Generally people are well mannered when they are taken care of aka have necessities like shelter, food, water, waste management, electricity, internet, healthcare, education, and so on. That said people generally care for themselves and their loved ones first and foremost. That is if anyone has an advantage they will use it for themselves and their loved ones essentially every single time. Also people will always be looking to create an advantage for themselves and their loved ones. This culminates in corruption of systems. Typically systems designed to mitigate this become corrupt themselves aka people get paid in some form or fashion to look the other way or for insider information as to dodge raids and arrest.
We can change systems all day long but we’re not changing human behavior anytime soon. I guess short of mass forced genetic engineering which would be horrifically unethical.
Yeah but how do we encourage people to do work that’s needed that they do not want to do? Also how do we actually mitigate corruption aka people perpetually gaming the system for their personal benefit and paying off anyone intended to stop corruption. Like socialism alone doesn’t really directly solve either of those problems. It also doesn’t directly solve supply and demand.
Like I’m all for creative solutions but socialism as it is isn’t an ultimate philosophy about how to mitigate and manage humans irl. To be fair absolutely no one has solved these problems so far like ever. It’s the P=NP of humanity.
You can pay people for labor in socialism, and by the time of communism productive forces will be incredibly advanced, with polytechnical education for all, resulting in easy ability to transfer workers from one industry to another as needed and desired by the workers themselves.
Corruption can be accounted for via mechanisms like recall elections, and working towards elimination of the profit motive. Socialist countries often feature both mechanisms, and involve approval-based voting and bottom-up policy propositions combined with top-down implementation.
I don’t know what you mean by “solving” supply and demand. You can plan production and distribution in socialism based on economic inputs, Paul Cockshott’s Towards a New Socialism shows an example of how a cybernetically planned economy could work (though he’s a massive transphobe and a poor Marxist in many areas).
Socialism is just the first step towards communism, one that can and is implemented already today.

Yes? We are not anti-system lol.
But you are anti-authority?
Authority figures get into the way of organizing more efficiently

Haven’t spent much time in the corporate world, have you?

Anti-unjustified hierarchy. Not anti-organized society.
OK. How is this society organized?

Wow very creative, never seen the “conflate multiple distinct usages of the same word” tactic before /s
You’re whale cum?
we can do waste management by kicking you out.
That’s not nice. I do find most prefer echo chambers where all statements and posts are in agreement with views they already hold.
you’re confusing primitivism for self governance.
i follow Tom Lerher advice, ask a stupid question get a stupid answer.
We don’t oppose society, but capitalism.

You never heard about egalitarianism have you? 😐
I’m a supporter of socialism, that’s how we should allocate labor and distribute resources and production.
