      It absolutely is: prisons, police, borders, it’s all authoritarian. There can’t be such a thing as a non-authoritarian state, because if there was it would be quickly overthrown by people willing to impose authority.

      I’ll at least respect anarchists for being consistent. Anyone who pretends “not me tho I’m different” is a hypocrite.

        Ok, cool, and then what. Not sure what do you bring to the table here? Water is wet. Fork found in the kitchen.

          I’m just observing that authoritarianism is essentially “water is wet” as a political concept. It’s vacuous and useless.

          Then you realize you’re a hypocrit who won’t do anything to oppose the government now. Having you usher in another set of authoritarian dipshits that you happen to agree with doesn’t help. The good news is yall are too feckless to usher in anything.

          So maybe we can effect change in the system now.

          If every voter had a mamdani to choose at home maybe things get better.
