Is there a real world example of the bourgeois specifically calling revolutionairies authoritarian, or is that limited to theory?
Western media regularly calls China and DPRK authoritarian.
Those are governments/countries and not at all what I'm talking about. I'm talking about an organization of people attempting a revolution on their own government.
Oh, they cultivate anarchists domestically to do that.
Define what you mean by anarchist, because we may have very different definitions of the word.
When I say anarchist, I mean those who believe in the philosophical ideals of anarchism, which could manifest in many different forms, but all have one common thread, being having the ideal of the abolition of heirarchy in society (which makes something like AnCap not anarchy despite its name).
Yup, that's the definition.
Yes, see basically every revolution, but look at Cuba for a prime example
Cuba, China, Vietnam, USSR, DPRK, Soviet Afghanistan (The one where women weren't slaves, which the US overthrew in favour of poppy-growing pedophiles), East Germany, Nelson Mandela, Venezuela, Chile, the list goes on. Similarly: Countries that do not have governments, they have "regimes". They do not have Vice-presidents or deputies, they have "hand-picked successors".
