I think it's good to mention this otherwise we fall into the anti-authority argument that anarchists love to bring up.

Yeah, I presume that anarchist rejection of all forms of authority is what kicked off this thread. It is a very basic understanding that Marxists in general[^1] and Marxist-Leninists in particular[^2] do not reject authority as-such, which OC ought to have known, so she oughtn’t have been surprised.
