    Yeah I would love for it to be possible for us to simply build our new world and show people a better way, but we are running out of time and more authoritarian measures are going to be necessary.

      "more authoritarian measures are going to be necessary."

      Welp, that's the gotcha for calling you 'tankie' according to these people.

      Use state measures, and they would treat you as oriental orc with no sense... get crushed by authoritarians and they will publicly worship you while secretly celebrating a progressive defeat towards reaction...

      Edit: I'm pro-Nakoichi, just to clarify...

        it all depends on whether by "authoritarian" the liberals mean "classes, hierarchies, oppression, bigotry and exploitation" or if they simply mean "using violence to bring an end to classes, hierarchies, oppression, bigotry and exploitation." I find that they tend to mean the latter. Hence, I leave it to Engels:

        and also, oddly enough, Mark Twain:

          It's a joke, because I initially thought it wouldn't allow me, due to a large waiting time. I eventually made an account of a similar name there later on...
