the dilemma created, from an anti-authoritarian perspective, by a group of black authoritarians claiming police authority over an "autonomous zone", is obvious and deep. i reject ALL authority, yet i have deep affinity with the response of black folks to the perpetual systemic racism (among other isms) that is experienced daily, and only highlighted periodically. putting raz in his place (as in, gtfo with your authoritarian bullshit) would be seen by many as somehow further attempting to oppress black folks.

i want allies in my project of a life free from ALL institutional authority and hierarchy. but so many that fight for the "freedoms" of oppressed groups, don't want to eliminate all oppression, only the oppression(s) they feel strongly about. they still want/need leaders, and the codified positions of power that requires/enables.
