"authoritarian" is a thought-terminating buzzword employed by spineless liberals too terrified of the idea of wielding power for good to actually do anything to help

Hi, anarchist here. What word should we use to differentiate y'all from us? Liberals use tankie to mean anyone further left than biden (and it obv has a strong negative connotation), and y'all define authoritarian and state in a way that makes those labels unhelpful. Without having to know someone's specific ideology, what word should be used if not authoritarian?

Communist

Idk I feel like that's not the kind of distinction I'm looking for, because I like anarcho-communism

Edit:

Re: @m532@lemmygrad.ml

If anarcho-communism isn’t communism, why is “communism” in its name?

What? I didn't say it's not communism, I'm saying that calling y'all communists isn't necessarily a distinction from anarchists, bc there's an anarchist version of communism.

I don't care what you're looking for, especially if you feel the need to distance yourself from communism in any way

What? I pretty explicitly said the opposite
