kin OP wrote

What Burroughs ultimately presents in his political allegory is that totalitarianism, socialism, and democracy — though their techniques differ — have fascist consequences should their visions be attained. (...)

Fascinatingly, and reflective of how anarchists often come to their political conclusions, Burroughs outlines the problems with the popular administrative ideologies before proposing the only other alternative. In so doing, not only does the author legitimize his argument, but he posits how anarchism can remedy the ethical complications of the opposing parties’ principles.
