I don’t like spending this much time arguing against campism but they just keep talking at me.

    How does one become communist without forcing the billionaire to give up their wealth? Is it not through the use of authority?

          That’s debatable, I don’t call FAFO authority, but I guess I could see how someone could argue that being limited in doing whatever the fuck one wants is authoritarianism.

          In any case, the entire premise of the initial question is flawed and this argument makes little sense

            The point is that authoritarian is a vague term that depends on who is holding authority and who is having authority exerted on them.
