        The political spectrum is indeed bullshit but the whole compass isn't greyed out as made up internet stuff, the choices give away the intent of the author. Clumsily crossing out the word authoritarian also does not delete the cultural context, we all know what the author thinks "really wanting it" means.

            Yeah, but anarchists have a whole discourse about the ethical deployment of violence and they call that discourse anti authoritarianism.

            This is pretty clearly anti anarchist

                Yeah, libertarian anti authoritarianism is about private vs state control, while anarchist authoritarianism is about when it's acceptable to be violent and how to hold revolutionaries accountable and things like that. They're just incongruous and representing them as a single axis is incoherent.

                That said, it's one of the main differences between anarchists and MLs and I think it's inappropriate to erase that.

      tbh, my own experience of lurking a lot is that anarchists seem to prefer centrist libs to tankies. Or at least a lot of people who call themselves anarchists.
