authoritarian— but I know you’re apathetic towards authoritarianism All governments/states are authoritarian. That is their nature. No government is excluded from this. The difference with some governments over others is who wields that authority: the majority of working class people, or the minority of capitalist class people. I’d prefer to live in a state that advocates for my best interests as a working class individual rather than submit to capitalists that want to extract everything that I’m worth for themselves and hoard for no good reason.
