First time I read it I couldn't believe how short and easy read it is, and what a powerful argument Engels is making

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

05:22 Acknowledges that argument that Engels is making is that "anything is authoritarian"

05:28 Acknowledges that Engels has a very broad definition of "authority"

06:20 Builds a strawman by giving a context "Engels existed around the time of the industrial revolution", reading the paragraph about steam boats, etc. and is 0740 using it to suddenly drastically narrows the definition of Engels down to mean "technological development is authoritarian".

10:15 At 10:45 correctly explains the point that Engels is making and copes hard with the fact that Engels indeed questions the entire political theoretical understanding of authority lol

12:00 correctly understands that the point is that "Anti-Authoritarians want to change society" and if Engels can prove that organization without authority is impossible, it will mean that he will be able to show this deep contradiction

13:55 He builds another strawman by claiming that Engel's argument is "Steam is an authority" and not the actual argument that the organization of labour inheretly requires authority and in a society without capitalism the production process would take authorties place (i.e Steam)

14:50 Another strawman where he claims that "hunger would be authority" in an ancient hunting times, instead of the organization of how the hunt would take place

This is so dumb i don't want to continue and its so long wtf Pure ideology, that video was such a waste of time

On Authority is one of my absolute favourites because it’s so ludicrously bourgeois

Are you really saying "Engels was bourgeois, therefore the argument he's making is bourgeois"? lol

“All you amount to is saying that a stone falls down when let go, and that having to hold it up so that it doesn’t fall down, to have to bow to that authority, is oppressive”.

Tell me how you haven't read it even more. Because he's actually concluding:

When I submitted arguments like these to the most rabid anti-authoritarians, the only answer they were able to give me was the following: Yes, that's true, but there it is not the case of authority which we confer on our delegates, but of a commission entrusted! These gentlemen think that when they have changed the names of things they have changed the things themselves. This is how these profound thinkers mock at the whole world.
