Theoretically, yes. Realistically it's a much fuzzier picture unfortunately. They are far too cozy with them for my taste. When it comes to killing anarchist purposefully. I'm not sure if there are any others in the same league. With such a purposeful well defined history of it than leninist and their unthinking tanky brigades.

That said, when leninist have no control of anything. Outside of that lust for control. (Which liberals share to an extent) Their benign desires align better with anarchist than liberals generally. But it's only an illusion. I think db0 and several others there understand that. (Probably not unruffled) But optics wise I definitely don't see it shown much. Which is its own issue.

While many liberals goals might not aligned well with mine. The fact that extreme violence (imprisonment and murder) isn't their default state or desire. Can't be understated. Especially with the socially liberal and progressives. Those groups and I have plenty of overlap. Unfortunately one of them being having no power compared to neoliberals and liberals generally.

However, liberals inability to apply violence when necessary is also part of the reason the United States at least, is where it is. I see no issue wishing or using violence against those that employ it. As long as that division stays clear and necessary. Not turning everyone they disagree with into the enemy. Deserving imprisonment and death like the fascists or leninists do.
