authoritarians of any side deprecate liberal values (ie, individual liberty) & treat the individual as an expendable means to (rather than the nonexpendable ends of) their illiberal agenda
Except the media globally label the leftists as either communists or extremists. God forbid we redistribute the wealth so that no one starves and everyone can see a doctor when they’re sick.

Wow, that must mean anarchists are actually authoritarians then. Right? Right?!
That depends. Are you classifying them as authoritarian leftists or fascists?
They’re neither, that’s what I’m saying. “Abolish all power structures” would certainly be an interesting goal for an authoritarian.
Do anarchists
deprecate liberal values (ie, individual liberty) & treat the individual as an expendable means to (rather than the nonexpendable ends of) their illiberal agenda
or oppose
a critical democratic right such as freedom of speech
?
The post is not meant to be exhaustive, only point out that authoritarians agree individual liberties matter less than their illiberal agenda.
