      Jfc ok I’ll sum it up for your dumb ass that can’t read more than 5 words at once:

      You have dismissed anarchism as being both too authoritarian, AND too soft. It can’t be both.

      Also, if anarchism is dogmatic, what are its strict rules?

      Lastly, stop just ignoring my points and pretending like you’re making arguments that way.

          For fuck’s sake. Do I have to DRAG you every step of the way, here? You invoked horseshoe theory, and said anarchism and fascism both rely on “gangs of thugs” to keep people in line and quell dissent. So I can concede you didn’t use the word authoritarian, but you described it the way anyone would. You implied anarchism has to use force. What else do I need?

              Oh, so you’ve flipped again, huh? Just can’t make up your mind whether anarchists are thugs or wide eyed idealists.

              Does this not seem like a contradiction, to you?

                  Which is why socialism is based on materialism, not idealism. You got dangerously close to making a point. Are you feeling okay? Still wasn’t relevant to what I said, though - how do you reconcile your view of anarchists as violent thugs, with the view of them as soft pushovers with no backbone?

                  Let me give you a hint - this specific contradictory view of leftists has its roots in fascist ideology:

                  “Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as “at the same time too strong and too weak”. On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation.”
