      Anarchism can oppress people

      / When it is constructed in the real world, there exists a form of anarchist society which can oppress people ->
      

      anarchists think this couldn't possibly be true because they've cleverly defined anarchism to be everything which is not oppressive, but if you ask every Tory, the history of Communism already shows that any system which is built in reality can oppress people including anarchism. a whole lot of Tories are already convinced Communism and anarchism are the same thing, and that anarchists are bent on oppressing them. what is the reason this happens? why would there be so many people claiming this non-extraordinary, mundane claim of anarchist oppression if it was totally impossible?
      it isn't that because Tories are claiming something enough it must be correct. but, the thing is that most anarchists seemingly can't tell the difference between valid and invalid objections to a sociophilosophy or "culture". it's quite a common line among Existentialists and anarchists that if one individual or tiny group of people objects your entire country or party must be unacceptable. anarchists are super easily swayed to believe that Cuban or Vietnamese or Chinese diasporas are necessarily correct in their objections just because they left the country, or that if your Uyghur and you're upset about something you must be trustworthy because there could never be any reactionary Uyghurs on this planet that get angry at progress. anarchists will just go believing that if people don't like vaccine mandates, that must actually be oppressive, but somehow the exact same vaccine is qualitatively different if you provide incentives for doing it rather than punishments for not. (this really happened. it shouldn't have happened when the most common arguments you see against vaccines are that the actual vial of stuff is poison and the oppression is specifically that you have to use it at all. but anarchists somehow got people to take vaccines by getting the company that was requiring them to pay them money.) anarchists are really damn (pronounced redacted) obsessed with Freedom. so what happens when somebody accuses anarchism itself of being an imposition on Freedom, as a large number of people actually have? aren't they obligated to believe that anarchism can oppress Tories and they're required to find some magic way to change it so it will still be anarchism but then it won't?
