      Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was talking about a post revolution society. Basically, the Parenti line of “After the revolution the liberals always ask ‘Will there be freedom for the fascist?! Can they have their newspapers!?’”

      I understand the authoritarian leftist policies that are needed in that stage of development.

          It’s so weird people say this when historically leftist states do actually end authoritarian policies. Like, the gulags were literally closed. Not to mention countless examples of China ending once needed and now no longer needed policies.

          I think Anarchist live in a fantasy world sometimes and just like saying “the state never gives up power”. It’s like you guys try to apply the same theory to a bourgeoise run state and a proletariat run state under a communist party. History literally shows you they are massively different.

          Can you maybe offer constructive criticism on how to improve them instead of just blindly acting like state power is some universal evil. After awhile it really just starts to sound like religious dogma. Like the state is some underworld character that you have to defeat.

                  Traffic cameras are so dystopian, just ignore the 95+% government approval rate (according to harvard not the CPC), the whole process peoples democracy, the poverty alleviation, the corruption crackdowns. More cameras clearly means more dystopia.

                    Anti-traffic camera is just a view of privileged drivers, who think they got away with so much traffic infractions that they deserve to continue doing so, which makes the installation of speed camera so controversial everywhere.

              I’ll do us both a favor and not waste my time trying to respond to your stupidity.
