Authoritarian AF. lmao

The reality is that all governments rely on coercion to maintain their authority. The reality is that all governments rely on coercion to maintain their authority. The state is fundamentally an instrument that’s used by the ruling class to maintain its dominance… Every government derives its authority from its monopoly on legal violence.

This is called authoritarianism, silly.

The whole notion that political systems can be neatly categorized into authoritarian or democratic binaries is deeply infantile.

Nobody is saying this except you. Infantile strawman.
