No, definately not. The "post-lefitst" blather spouted by some anarchists has little to do with Hitler & Fascism. It would be nice if you would create rational arguements instead of just comparing your opponets to right-wingers. When people start resorting to calling their opponet Hitler you know they've lost the arguement.

"By popular government they [the Authoritarian Socialists] mean government of the people by a small number of representatives elected by the people. . . [That is,] government of the vast majority of the people by a privileged minority. But this minority, the Marxists say, will consist of workers. Yes, perhaps, of former workers, who, as soon as they become rulers or representatives of the people will cease to be workers and will begin to look upon the whole workers' world from the heights of the state. They will no longer represent the people but themselves and their own pretensions to govern the people." - Mikhail Bakunin
