Liberals are authoritarians, we all pretty much agree on that here but what’s the best way to communicate this to a well meaning baby leftist?
Anything worth linking to or specific phrasings you like using? How do you go about justifying that liberals are the “real” authoritarians and not the communists?
A place to start would be to talk about the incredible violence the system doles out to the poor with full legal authority.
A liberal may argue that they don’t like any of those things and hope to change them through reform, at which point you have to sell them on the idea of the dictatorship of capital; that they will not be able to reform anything until they are allowed to by the ruling class. I like the way @Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net describes it in his comment in this thread
