    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?
