Reads to me as a set polemical straw arguments against communalism and horizontalism; broad brush strokes (based on fiction) that belie the dynamic, empowering and pluralistic natures possible within so-called horizontal organisational dynamics. Like those who would paint social forms of "anarchism" as being without rules, a black and white conflation of a nuanced topic relating to social/progressive politics with a concept like totalitarianism. Not that there aren't dark pattern social dynamics relating to the topic that are worth talking about, but there really is no attempt to engage here, just an apparent horseshoe attempt to psychologically pin negative sentiments to some keywords.
