    Sorry I don’t share your optimism. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, that’s a fact.

        Idk wtf youve decided to talk about here but just to be clear - I’m saying authoritarianism is bad because it puts all the power in the hands of a small group of people, which is probably the kind of thing you agree to be bad.

          You should read On Authority by Engels. It's a very short read(about the size of a news article) and lays out Communists ideas about "authoritarianism". The fact that you think communism is rule by a small number of people shows that you're completely indoctrinated by Western anticommunist propaganda.

            I appreciate the resource. Just so we’re on the same page, explain to me how authoritarianism as you see it can produce a set of conditions that can’t be described as “a few people holding absolute power over the majority” because that pretty much sounds like the definition of authoritarianism.
