Anti capitalism doesn’t mean abandonment of principles, and in particular leveraging the enemy’s tools (ie the state) only leads to failure for leftist projects. See: USSR, China, every social-democratic party everywhere

I think we are in agreement? I would note that the latter part is fairly contentious depending on which leftist you talk to.

Right, but I think the past century has demonstrated that authoritarian communism has a poor track record at actually abolishing communism, so perhaps we should try something else
