My side is anti-authority. There’s no infighting when it’s against authoritarianism.

I'm sorry you are unable to see outside of this binary. I am a communist in that I work towards communism, I recognize that I don't know what the end form looks like and it may very well look like anarchism, but I also have the ability to recognize that there needs to be a transitionary phase where we end capitalism first and that may require slightly more centralization for a short time. It's quite easy to see that while capitalism still exists, the most continually successful resistance at scale requires centralization to be sure to can be rooted out. No one likes the symptoms of an antibiotic, but it's the only way to rid us of some pathogens, and you don't keep taking antibiotics after the pathogen is gone because it can hurt the body.

Class, Capitalism, and the State are nothing but manifestations of Authority. To defeat them, we must defeat authority.

I understand Liberals believe they can reform the state, and Communists think they can wield it to bring about these changes.

I however do not think it can be redeemed. And as history and 'AES' shows it always bounces back to oppressive authoritarianism of the people.

AES and history continue to exist in a world with the external pressure of capitalism, which is why it bounces back. You can't know if it's inherent until capitalism is removed. If it is the case that it is inherent, you will find yourself with significantly more allies than now, but the only way to gain those allies is through defeating capitalism.

Capitalism

As far as I understand, right wingers do like liberals because they are liberals. They just don't like the (minimally) more progressive liberals that recognize more humans as people that also get those rights.

Libertarianism has been broadly shaped by liberal ideas.
