Bedtimes are authoritarian, your parents are dictators
No yeah good point, we should simply impose no limits on the kinds of people currently fucking the world, that definitely won't lead us to exactly where we are now.
Almost getting it, but instead Marx famously said "Communism can only be done by tranfering all political and capital to the state, where it will willingly give away all this power." Silly us for not knowing Marx works more.
No? That's not how the withering of the state works. The state is a product of class struggle, by collectivizing all production and distribution class is ended, leaving only "the administration of things." There's no point where the state "gives away power," the state is not outside of class struggle but a product of it. Without class struggle, there's no need for the elements of society used to protect the ruling class, which in socialism is the proletariat.
