Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this
teft@piefed.social 4 weeks agoHow can an anarchist be authoritarian? Anarchy seeks to abolish all institutions and authoritarianism is institutions on steroids so they seem mutually incompatible to me.

I’m not saying some subset of anarchists aren’t authoritarian (you are right, none of them are authoritarian), I’m saying that Anarchism can get lumped in with Marxist-Leninism under the concept of ‘Far-left’ with horseshoe theory.
Horseshoe theory makes it seem like being on the far-left is authoritarian. I would put forward that any authoritarian ideology is in fact right-wing, and the true Far-left are Anarchists/Left-Libertarians, which the stethoscope theory makes more clear by separating out the tankies.

you have no authority on deciding what left is, true nature of far left is clear since the first internationale. Anarchism is a mainly first world white people ideology that has no substance on ground and is non existence in third world because its moralist and not scientific. Tankies are real far left and they are good.

Lol, I love that you’re living up to your descriptor of being authoritarian by telling me I have no authority, then telling me the approved facts I should believe.

You are disrespecting our comrades who sacrificed so much for those socialist projects by calling them right wing without any logic.
