A lot gets made of left unity, but I feel like I'm only presented with the cracks.

Anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, anti-prejudice, etc. all seem kosher.

But how do we make do with authoritarian vs. anti-authoritarian? How do we bridge that gap?

    Authoritarianism (in a contextless vacuum) isn't a very useful concept. It's just the exercise of power. What I think is worth talking about is the levelling of hierarchical power structures, and I think there are probably a few MLs who believe that we should minimize the number of and distances between any hierarchical system that exerts power or control.

    idk maybe I'm way off base here, I'm a scientists first and only an armchair political philosopher who skims way more than they should (when they should probably be reading more deeply and carefully) at best
