      A tankie would be defending the soviet union. Tankie =/= communist. Tankie = authoritarian “communist”

        What theory writers inform your non-authoritarian communism?

          Pyotor Kropotkin, Rudolf Rocker, Anton Pannekoek, Rosa Luxemburg, Errico Malatesta, and Abdullah Ocalan are the ones I’ve read.

            Fair enough! I was curious if Marx was included, as he’s very “authoritarian” (at least as far as I understand it). If not, I don’t really have any argument with your list.

              I have issue with Marx’s theories, particularly the idea we have to transition to communism. No government will freely give up its power, it’s too likely to become corrupted. Which is why I focus on anarchist theory. Granted Pannekoek and Luxemburg are Marxists, I find their takes on Marxism to be much better
