I think it's weird since in the US anti authoritarianism and pro socialism are the same thing. Like, if you look at Marx, he talks a lot about humans being everything they can, democracy, and even freedom at times. Lenin was addressing a scenario where if there wasn't a centralized army and coerced production, the revolution would fail, but honestly that's not what Marx was talking about. In the US, where the centralized army is the big bad and labor is already centralized and coercive we have the luxury of fighting directly for socialism.
