    I’m definitely not an expert on this. But let’s take foss as an example. I find it to be an amazing bottom up community that contributes to itself freely. I can’t imagine how a top down system would flourish if a small group of people decided what was good for the foss community and deleted what they thought wasn’t. Is there is a distinction? Is there different versions of communism I should check out?

      Its called worker lead, classless society.

      foss has a legally binding licence to support itself, this licence can be seen as a vanguard as it steers and protects the software, without the licence people would be sure to steal and monetise others works. But let’s say Foss became the defacto, everyone releases free fully open and no anti feature software, we could loss the vanguard and naturally a classless system would be present.

        Could a non-human vanguard be possible for a broader scope of governance? I don’t trust humanity all that much when it come to dictation.

              It already was, compare project cybersyn to the Walmarts and amazons we have now.

              Software is not a person and will serve the people in control of it.
