I am sorry for being agressive. I mostly assumed you thought the same things as the person you were quoting. I appreciate that you at least admit you aren't well read enough, that's more than most people I talk to.
I really appreciate this too. Thank you. I think as a direct expanding on what I'm talking about, this essay is very good:

It's available on video form too, but the video doesn't have citations.
Here's a good rebuttal of On Authority:

A modern and a classical reading on how anarchists view authority and power:

Cheers pal, I've favorited this post to come back too. I've read Bakunin before, but I haven't read the rebuttal on On Authority or the other essays you linked. Looking forward to it! Appreciate the time you put into this
Thank you for being willing to engage sanely in the first place. <3
