one could call this childish idealism that is diametrically opposed to the material dialectical analyses that marxists like.. well, liebknecht, used to apply.
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
the state & legitimizing authority is simply the state... it's like the firmament fixed & eternal
labor is rehabilitating for capitalists who never did labor before, that's the point. it's not about punishment, it's about serving the community & removing class distinctions... i didn't say they would toil endlessly without reprieve
it's not illegal to criticize the government, it's illegal to incite violence against the larger community
the state protects workers from the market in the ideal social democratic model.
the state oppresses the exploiters in the ideal socialist model
