      Marxism is anti-utopian, it’s based on analyzing how societies evolve over time. What is deemed “authoritarianism” is the need for the proletariat to exert its control over the bourgeoisie, rather than the reverse, yet bourgeois rule is more authoritarian.

          Are you counting defensive wars against capitalist colonizers, fascist invasions, and uprisings against oppressive puppet regimes and tyrants?

            Always the victim. Get back to your struggle sessions, and hope the target isn’t you.

      Yeah, because authoritarian systems always fail, without exception

      The only real solution is to remove authority and bring society to adult level - better the other way round though.

        remove adults and bring all the kids to the authoritarian level. Check.
