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?

We're both for common ownership of the means of production. The question is whether we want the vehicle for ownership to be the state or something else.
I think the best way to bridge the gap is through mutual alliance in the goal of changing society, and then respect for the autonomy of different groups to do different things post-change. I could see both ML and anarchist municipalities existing comfortably alongside each other and even federating in some circumstances. We don't have to agree on everything. All we have to agree is that our world could change for the better, and that different areas reserve the right to self-governance. As long as these principles are shared there's no reason MLs and anarchists cannot be effective, friendly allies.
Except for anprims, who just don't want the means of production to exist at all :anprim-pat:
