I am quoting Parenti. You'll need to read Blackshirts & Reds to get an answer -- that's where the quote is from -- or one of his other books.

    Sorry to disappoint. I don't have hard opinions about anarchists vs MLs. I generally think Engels was more convincing on authority, but I'm not well read enough to have a formed opinion on it and haven't read anything from the last decade or so. I especially don't think the things that you're asking here because I didn't write the statement, Parenti did, and he did so for rhetorical effect against western leftists putting ideology over AES. I'm happy to receive some recs I can follow up on.

    I am sorry for being agressive. I mostly assumed you thought the same things as the person you were quoting. I appreciate that you at least admit you aren't well read enough, that's more than most people I talk to.

    I’m happy to receive some recs I can follow up on.

    I really appreciate this too. Thank you. I think as a direct expanding on what I'm talking about, this essay is very good:

    It's available on video form too, but the video doesn't have citations.

    Here's a good rebuttal of On Authority:

    A modern and a classical reading on how anarchists view authority and power:
