I've read anarchist theory, please explain how communalist cells interconnected in a decentralized fashion is the same as one system with collectivized production and distribution. I'm not "drunk in authoritarianism," I just understand that hierarchy isn't axiomatically bad, and that in many cases it exists by necessity.

Trying to make a smartphone without hierarchy is a recipe for rampant deaths in mining accidents, missed shipping times for raw materials, shoddy fabrication of semiconductors, disasters at air and sea, and huge differences in material wealth for the different parts of the supply and production chain leading to class distinctions and a new state.

Communes/cooperatives are neat in the context of capitalism and socialism in certain applications, but aren't the basis of communist society, socialized/collectivized production is, because only that forms the basis of classless society.

You haven't really responded to my points, just insulted me or told me I'm wrong without elaborating on why. This is extremely unconvincing.
