I don’t believe in rights.

Not even positive rights? You're literally like "authority means it is by definition a class society" and you don't believe in rights? How do you square that circle?

It honestly feels like this is a cheap rhetorical dismissal because you don't want to compare what the actual material benefits of socialist revolutions are vs anarchist revolutions.

I didn’t think that I’d have to explain to somebody that the very existence of a hierarchy implies class structure.

And of course, there was no hierarchy in actual anarchist societies. /s.

Have you never heard of the concept of a transitional state? You know, that thing that socialists and anarchists both do, that involves hierarchy in repressing right wing elements? That socialists actually acknowledge the evil of, as opposed to pretending like they're not doing a transitional state?

Or do you have a new super special plan to do classless society day one? If so I'd love to hear it.
