Capitalism is inherently authoritarian
What does capitalism being authoritarian have to do with this? Just because they stated the fact that ML is authoritarian doesn't mean that capitalism is not.
This is an objectively false statements. The most objectively democratic and free societies that exist today and have ever existed are all capitalist. Sure, there are authoritarian capitalist societies, but unlike capitalism there has been and won't be a truly free and democratic Marxist society.
