Being a former anarchist and knowing them anarchists, they will resort to semantically disputing your characterization. Example:
In a social revolution, the act of revolution is the overthrow of the power and authority of an oppressing and exploiting class by those subject to that oppression and exploitation. In other words, it is an act of liberation in which the hierarchical power of the few over the many is eliminated and replaced by the freedom of the many to control their own lives. It is hardly authoritarian to destroy authority!
Also, openly anti-anarchist leftists possess no authority at all in this imperial core (socdems aren’t leftists so they don’t count); therefore those anarchists’ plot to “get rid of” anti-anarchists constitutes no social revolution at all, but sectarian infighting which ultimately benefits the capitalist ruling class.
Sounds very authoritarian to get rid of people who disagree with you, not very anarchist of them
