If a group tries to violently overthrow a system then yes they’re authoritarian. Shouldn’t be that hard to piece together.

Last time I checked anarchy involves the destruction of all systems of economics and government because people aren’t smart enough to realize that’s a fucking delusionally stupid idea.

This comedy sketch illustrates with literally just one example how ridiculous the idea of not having some kind of meta structure to handle human needs is.
