All would say the same thing there. Look at the auth right we have today and the rhetoric of 'the decadent decay of society and the need to rebuild traditional structures...'
None of the other three have the concept of prefiguration
So I went looking for how you might define the term outside of a pre-ordained order of society and found it somewhat comical that the M/W dictionary's first example came from the playbook of the poster child for fascism...

That's doesn't seem to be the same concept as the anarchist political praxis
They can say the same, but who's structures would you rather be a part of, given the choice? Horizontally-organized ones that function cooperatively, or the same crap you've got right now?
All we gotta do is keep showing people that better ways exist and work.
A lot of people actually like authoritarianism. These people are known as morons.
I don't argue with the notion that virtually anything is better than we have now. I'd probably fall somewhere leftish but pretty neutral in the auth/lib scale. Basically to say having central authority enough to get things like big science, public infra, and foundational enforcement to the extent of ensuring people play by the agreed rules, but not the elite group dictation of them we have now. The idea of the self moderating and communal policing commune sounds nice, but unrealistic if you have anyone not following that path in or near the society.
