          dont buy it. that experience is so unfathomably narrow in comparison to the questions we try to resolve

              one could call this childish idealism that is diametrically opposed to the material dialectical analyses that marxists like.. well, liebknecht, used to apply.

                  likewise

                  people use "authoritarianism" as a scare tactic & ham-fisted way to shut down debate... not as a worthy criticism.

                  if former capitalists & their toadies have to serve jail time & do hard labor for exploiting & oppressing workers, then this isn't "authoritarianism", no more than the reality of wage compulsion is "authoritarian"

                  in fact, it's much less authoritarian and is actually ethically justified because of the nature of wage relations in the old system

                  workers will have to continue class struggle, it's a struggle afterall and not a PMC board meeting or personal grievance airing
