Does it happen a lot around here though? Most of the time I think we're mostly just critical of Capitalists and Authoritarians. Usually Socialism, real Communism, and Anarchism are not really critisized except by some .world users.
Edit: Except during a round of good ol' Leftist Infighting.
Authoritarianism is just yet another word made up by the west to label communists
Wouldn't you consider Hitler's ideology authoritarian? Or Mussolini's?
Authoritarian is to hold power, in the basic sense. It is to have a state, and to enact that state power. Anarchist comrades will call any state or ideology authoritarian if it does not go against the state. I am not as well read on this as other, but this is the gist.
Right that's why I don't understand @bubblybubbles's point.
All terms are made up, but it makes sense to have a definition for authoritarianism. It feels like we are just discussing semantics
