@Cowbee
I think that authoritarianism has been tried and failed enough times to justify the rejection of authoritarianism.

I am sorry to disagree. Authoritarianism has been very successful during history. It is a very stable system because it is based on the widespread use of repression and force. And that's why we need to be vigilant.

I was referring to the use of authoritarianism in achieving communism, which it has historically been very unsuccessful at.
