I think you're reading a few things into my comment that aren't there
'Glad you agree that the gulaging of kulaks or the extermination of landlords is not authoritarian' is quite a jump from what I said(make some pedantic argument about what constitutes self defence if you wish but I was clearly referring to immediate physical danger)
I didn't say 'my' violence was 'good', I explained why people don't consider the anti clerical violence authoritarian, as you asked
Who makes said rules? Who carries out the trial? Are they members of a hierarchical state with more power than the individual on trial? If so imo that is authoritarian
The kulaks posed immediate physical danger of starving the Soviet people from their lack of cooperation. The landlords were actively suppressing the peasants.
The rules come from the constitution voted upon by the people.
Tell me how would an anarchist society enforce laws then? And how would an anarchist society ensure every individual would have equal power?
