In anticipation of comments suggesting Leninists and anarchists should 'unite against the capitalists':

Notions of anarchists and statists 'uniting' against the capitalists have a pretty clear conclusion every time - the statists get their way and the anarchists get thrown under the bus.
In anticipation of Leninists calling me an anti-communist, let me reiterate that I am criticising authoritarian socialism for advocating means which are ineffective in establishing communist ends. I think it is true that the system created in the USSR and so on was merely replacing one hierarchy with another, however unlike anti-communists I do not believe it follows from this that hierarchy is somehow inevitable or written into our genetics. Hierarchy is, however, written into the state.

Given that all of these sources of my claims come from anti-capitalist authors, can nobody in the comments claim that this is 'bourgeois propaganda', please.
