Your enemies are also violent authoritarians, how do you propose that a nonviolent nonauthoritarian revolution protect what gains it has and resist organized violence without some level of "authoritarianism" literally every example of revolutions (anarchists and otherwise) have this feature, or they fail.
I don't consider needing to make a unified front nearly as authoritarian as the everyday violence under capitalism.
A unified front does not have to be authoritarian, by which we mean hierarchical top-down power structures.

You seem to have a lot of faith in manifesting your imagination into reality. I suggest joining an organization and putting in some work, because that's how literally anything in reality get changed.
I organize with anarchists and most of them would get called tankies by you online anarchists lmao
I will say I do get annoyed at mls ranting about anarchists in a vacuum for the exact reason, and that's honestly why I gravitated to hexbear. There's plenty we agree on, and a lot that everyone should learn from history. Trying to make some sort of us vs them thing is wrecker behavior.

I suggest you look at my body of work before suggesting to me to do more work.

Y'all have a very western/USA-centric pespective of anarchists and it shows.

Can you elaborate? Most anarchists (not all) I've run into have been in the US, but I was saying they would get called tankies by your standards. Most of the older ones in particular.
Man why do you all have to do the interrogation shtick? It's really jarring to have online randos looking into one's private life yanno?

I am Greek. Anarchists have a way less favorable impression of MLs, partly because our ml orgs were never destroyed like the American ones, so we get to see ml praxis daily.
I'm Greek too, as are a number of the anarchists I know- the KKE isn't in power and none of the anarchists I talked to ever took time out of their day to shittalk it either.
All revolutions are, are you going to manifest a wish into reality?
Sorry but revolutions do not necessary have to be authoritarian

This is what I say all the time around here. I really don't get all this hatred agains commies.

I agree. I myself am much more inclined to anarchism than communism. I don't see anything productive coming out of these provocations.
Also calling everyone a tankie is pretty offensive.
It's extra grating because a lot of the people calling you a tankie these days are cheering for the Merkavas in Gaza right now

Are you in any organizations?

The reason I mention it is because a lot of political understanding comes from working with other people towards shared goals.
This reminds me, are you going to get back to the reply chain where we actually talked briefly?
Here you go, two minute music video to address everyone's authoritarianism concerns
I've been bamboozled!
I don't think we all have the same concept of what is an authoritarian
