Yes. The same thing in principle at bottom, vastly different in tactics in the moment. one's focus must shift between tactics and principle; but the State and tribal thinking would drown you in tactics so you don't recognize the failed principles. I disagree with almost every part of that quoted message, but I see your point and understand why you feel the way you do. (my stance, specifically, unsurprisingly, is: the amount of "top-down authoritarianism" that i think is maximally necessary for bottom-up, free market emergence of human flourishing and peaceful order is "zero". the inevitable slippery slope starts an atom above that) getting distracted 100% of the time by tactics is how you end up thinking that _any_ amount of top-down authoritarianism is acceptable.
