All states are authoritarian friends. Even proletarian states. The goal is to abolish the state entirely but doing so requires seizing the authority to repress your former oppressors. In the Western imagination this is evil because the dominant ideology is that of our oppressors. We are conditioned to see the world through their lense.
Do not be afraid of authority, it is a useful tool and our aversion to it only benefits the ruling class. It makes us easier to crush. There is nothing more authoritarian than a revolution, it is the forceful assertion of one classes rule over another's. Class society doesn't dissapear because we say so, we need to dismantle it and a state is the perfect tool for doing so. To not build one is to remove our best defence against counter revolution. We would be failing ourselves and the world. Failed revolutions get slaughtered and I do not want to see my comrades slaughtered.
I cansee the argument that its a necessary harm even if i disagree, but denying that there is harm is just jumping off the side of the fucking mountain.
No doubt this is how they see it, but no.
Youre much more likeable when youre doing aspirational uncontroversial ontological goods, like fucking sharks
Didn't mean to give the impression that having authority wouldn't be harmful. It absolutely will and people will be hurt by it, that's what states do.
I don't like hurting people and I personally hope I never have to do it. I don't even like hurting fascist. It does need to be done though and we should not be afraid to do it. Fascism and capitalism deserve to be systematically oppressed until they no longer exist and doing so is best facilitated by a state. Hell, doing so typically creates a state whether you want to or not. A lot of anarchist revolutions ended up forming a limited state apparatus out of necessity. It isn't ideal but I am not an idealist.
I will return to shark fucking now
You do good work, comrade.
