Uh, no, communism is not anarchy. Anarchists want no leaders and horizontality. Communists still want administration. This is how many MLs throughout history have understood it.
No, anarchists claim to be against unjust hierarchies, not hierarchies in general. A society with no leaders whatsoever is impossible.
That's not what other anarchists tell me. It would be nice if anarchists agreed on something.
I am not an anarchist, I'm a ML. But this is something that was stated by Bakunin on "What is Authority?" and then repeated/popularized by Chomsky. I never heard of anyone claiming to be against authority in general unless it was someone really wacky like Bataille or Sade. If we're going to critize other leftists, it should be based on what they actually believe and what their representative theorists have to say on the matter. We can't really base things like this on what random people believe, especially since a lot of people who claim to be Marxists on the internet are equally clueless about Marxism.
Doesn't matter. There's no one template for anarchism or anarchists, hence, they can believe anything.
I mean, you had a very different position on the matter 20 hours ago but I'll just disengage since it seems like you just want to have the last say in this.
I don't. You misunderstand me.
