There’s no such thing as “libertarian” or “Authoritarian” socialism. Every modern society needs a hierarchy to organize and function, socialist or otherwise.
I agree with you, comrade. In communist society, material wealth is extremely rich, consumer goods are distributed according to needs, and everyone develops freely and comprehensively. Labor is the only demand, which means entering the anarchy stage.
Let’s cross that bridge when we get to it. One thing at a time. The post scarcity that communism demands will be achieved through a period of socialist construction. To begin to do that we will need first to have a revolution and second to safeguard that revolution from imperialism and reaction.
Whether you call that final stateless, classless society communism or “anarchy” is just semantics (though frankly i consider the latter misleading). The important thing is having a realistic path to getting there.
The political tendency known as Anarchism does not and cannot provide such a path because it refuses to use the necessary tools to defend the revolution and build socialism.
OK, the concept of libertarian socialism will be more accurate.

I fully agree with you, comrade. Let’s meet again in the future!
Same thing.
