So, let’s say the workers form Soviets. Those Soviets have to be destroyed, right?

it is going to depend, isn't it? are the soviets operated with consent and consensus?

i already explained i have no illusions that i can dictate what it's going to look like after the revolution. i do know what i won't tolerate.

Okay, you need to actually define authority, because I feel like each anarchist I've encountered has a different definition.
