That depends. Are you classifying them as authoritarian leftists or fascists?

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 3 months ago

They're neither, that's what I'm saying. "Abolish all power structures" would certainly be an interesting goal for an authoritarian.

Do anarchists

deprecate liberal values (ie, individual liberty) & treat the individual as an expendable means to (rather than the nonexpendable ends of) their illiberal agenda

or oppose

a critical democratic right such as freedom of speech

?

The post is not meant to be exhaustive, only point out that authoritarians agree individual liberties matter less than their illiberal agenda.
