      A state is an authoritarian organisation bent on maintaining its control over an area or peoples.

      Every state is authoritarian, not every authoritarian is a fascist.

      People > country lines.

        What prevents someone from calling your anarchist collective that arms up to defend their class interests, a state?

        What prevents ppl from labeling your actions “authoritarian” when you start to dismantle capitalist power structures?

        If you think “authoritarianism bad” is a coherent anarchist ideology, you’re ignorant. Whatever fantasy world you have in your head of an anarchist society will still have authority wielded for various purposes within that society
