I posted "On Authority" in the westolefto community
The response "i ain't reading all that tankie shit"
Why do westoleftos think they're experts on dem ebil tankies all of a sudden
Apparently “on authority” is kind of a bad refutation of anarchism, which makes it very funny that people resort to dismissing it instead of pointing out it’s flaws.
It isn't. It is a concise demonstration of the analytical bankruptcy of Utopian politics. Not surprising, coming from the guy who literally wrote the pamphlet on Utopian and scientific flavors of socialism.
Anti-authoritarians have no future, one either supports an existing authority or tries to become a new authority. Everyone can have a say in a democracy, but when it comes down to decision, whether through majority vote or expert opinion or other methods, the decision then becomes authority.
Even if someone claims to hate all forms of authority, this person will become the authority on "hating authority" if a following is gained. That's how anarchists are doomed for failure.

Just do not bother getting angry over this type of stuff. Post it nonetheless because someone may stumble upon it and actually read it or engage in a meaningful (even if not always well-intended) conversation about it, but the snarky replies are best ignored as they add nothing of value.
