So then, the "leaders" of the LRC have chosen that the direction and mission of the group is to coordinate and support the LSM mission. They invite speakers accordingly. I don't think that Igzy sees this as hypocrisy but rather practicality. Also, based on the context he feels they have this authority and if you don't like it leave. Unless I misunderstood.

Yes, exactly. There is nothing wrong with having leaders who set the direction of the group.
The mistake the LRC made was to say that they were the
only legitimate group and so it was them (and their leaders) or nothing. This led to abusive leadership practices and a bevy of other errors.
Members have the right to leave a group if they feel led to. No group has the authority to insist everyone must join them. No group has the right to declare themselves the unique manifestation of the Church.
