====================
Why privilege the concept of opposition? Why can't anarchism be a stand in for the creation of culture[s] of non-coercion? How do you know that the anti-authoritarian movements won't morph into different kinds of hierarchy and authoritarianism in the very attempt at abolishing what anarchists claim to despise?
