The dissolution of leadership Anarchists advocate the dissolution of all leaderships and leaderless groups working in non-hierarchical organisational structures. As Colin Ward states, 'the system makes its morons, then despises them for their ineptitude'. Such anthropological evidence is supported by the science of 'cybernetics' - the study of communication systems applied to managing organisations. Stafford Beer argues that organisations and societies should work in similar ways to biological systems. Society and organisations should be equally free to work in self-determined and flexible ways so that they can cope with the complexities of changing social structures within the wider environment.
Anarchists argue that society can exist without a national state.
Society can be ordered through a complexity and multiplicity of social organisations. Harmony is achieved through the perpetual adjustment and readjustment of equilibrium between multitudes of influences. This is a very organic view of social order where society is seen as something sub-divided into mutually dependent organs and cells, forever adapting and rejuvenating themselves to meet new situations. The nation state would be replaced by a geographical confederation of regions and continents would be replaced with a confederation of confederations.
