Let's be honest, that's true in every country where the government has real power. The moment you're an actual threat to those in power, you'll get shut down.

Right, and that's why talk of authoritarianism is infantile. The question that's actually important is whose interest the government represents.

Of course. The moment a government feels threatened, it will show you 'the violence inherent in the system'.

Which is the desirable outcome if the government represents the working class and exercises violence against attempts at a capitalist counterrevolution.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
