          The kind that rails on “anti authoritarianism”? Or do you have a charitable interpretation of “authoritarianism” that is somehow compatible with democracy?

          I also fail to see what any of that has to do with capitalism, which I have neither defended nor mentioned yet you brought up.

          Goddam arguing with tankies and their endless litany of non-sequiturs is such a pointless exercise.

            Do you have evidence of Marx and Engels, both who railed against so-called “anti-authoritarians,” saying that “Democracy must be abolished?” Do you have evidence of Marxists who followed them saying “Democracy must be abolished” either? I do not believe you will.

            What I do see is Communists advocating for the destruction of Capitalism and the structures that support it, replacing them with proletarian democracy.

            It isn’t a non-sequitor, your point itself was a strawman that doesn’t exist.

            Being against “anti-authoritarians” is not the same thing as being “authoritarian” as these categories are not useful in the first place. No marxist considers themselves to be either category.
