Liberals are authoritarians, we all pretty much agree on that here but what's the best way to communicate this to a well meaning baby leftist?

Anything worth linking to or specific phrasings you like using? How do you go about justifying that liberals are the "real" authoritarians and not the communists?

Liberals pretty much want to either shove the homeless into a labor camp (eg prison) or force them on to a death march (eg destroying their tents and possessions before forcing them out of the city where they can die from exposure). In general, liberals view homeless people as subhumans who must be exterminated. It's something that they don't hide as well as the other ghoulish aspects of liberalism. Liberals not only want a repressive state apparatus to crack the skulls of the homeless but they would go so far as to imbue the very architecture of their cities with anti-homeless measures. Can't have the homeless soil the seats of public benches and other flat surfaces with their homeless asses, so there needs to be spikes everywhere. Or barring that, every flat surface needs to be in some awkward angle so that it's virtually impossible to sit on them.

Meanwhile, communists just want to give homes to the homeless and call it a day lol

You're describing fascism. Liberals want homeless people out of sight. If they woke up tomorrow and fascists had exterminated all homeless people, libs would be really upset for six months and then move on. But if they woke up tomorrow and all homeless people had been given homes, they'd live with that, too.
