    I'm not agreeing with this redditor, but if you just told every American "hey there's no laws now" lots of terrible things would happen because of how reactionary this country is. It's not just the millionaires and billionaires we will need to take out, but a lot of cops and other right wing freaks. DotP will be a fundamental different way of governing, my point was if you put in communists as elected officials now somehow they could still improve the quality of life for minorities in this country by rounding up and re-education reactionaries. If we don't re-educate them by any means necessary, the only alternative is that they kill us or we kill them.

      if someone believes you should obey the law because it is the law, and that makes them a reactionary, who exactly do you determine is breaking the law by being a reactionary? I'm not even attacking authoritarianism as such here, I'm just saying it's ill equipped to deal with the attitude presented in the screenshot.

        I've spent a while thinking about this one, and you make a fair point. I guess ultimately I can't make someone think, but if benefits of being a critically thinking adult don't entice them punishment might. Past that I don't know what we could do.
