[dude with glasses in a communist t-shirt, arguing] I’m the only leftist here, your opinions are TRASH

[dude holding a theory book on smug, arguing] Read theory you losers, you’re all WRONG

[dude in an anarchist hoodie, arguing] Nuh-uh, I’m the only leftist here, you’re SHITLIBS

[the three dudes are now caught in a cartoon fight, glasses gone flying, punches everywhere, while a firing squad of nazis are targeting them with rifles]

[a confused nazi asks] Why… why are they still arguing?

    My point is that being “anti-authoritarian” is meaningless unless

    That seems to be your new point and again I don’t care to argue what a “true about authoritarian” is. If you think me wanting the ss to have been executed after the Holocaust disqualifies me as anti authoritarian you’re welcome to think that, I don’t respect your opinion in that case. That was the conversation where you entered.

      My point has been consistent throughout, a state wielding its power is authoritarian, but that can be a good thing. Labeling oneself as “anti-authoritarian” is usually a thought-terminating cliché to oppose socialists that support the use of the state against the bourgeoisie.

        I’m saying it because I’ve seen them make the same argument, as I have done myself, in different ways.

        Then maybe you didn’t read the conversation
