@balan @dave @AnonymousBosch @BowsacNoodle @CatLord @WhiteDissidentRadio Biden doesn't actually control this country. Plutocrat Jews with unlimited amounts of money made from ponzi schemes and financial speculation do. The only purpose of democracy is to obscure the power of the democracy makers. At least in Russia you know Putin is actually the leader making the decisions and Xi Xin Ping is actually the leader of China making the decisions so when you get fucked over you can be mad at the correct person instead of some senile puppet working for evil Jews.

@BowsacNoodle @dave @AnonymousBosch @CatLord @LorgarAurelian1488 @WhiteDissidentRadio Biden is an authoritarian and he doesn't give flying shit about his nation. So are most Western leaders.

@balan @dave @AnonymousBosch @CatLord @LorgarAurelian1488 @WhiteDissidentRadio How is that different from today? Regular people are constantly screwed over by the "elite class", which constantly breaks rules and has almost zero accountability. The difference is that at least authoritarians nominally care about the net fate of their nation rather than keeping up a facade that things are fine and everyone can succeed, like our current system.

@WhiteDissidentRadio @LorgarAurelian1488 @dave @AnonymousBosch @BowsacNoodle @CatLord when have authoritarians ever been accountable? Look at China, Cuba, or Russia. Do you think abuses of authority are even given a hearing. Maybe an official who betrays the regime might be strung up for his abuses, but only because he betrayed the regime, not because of the abuses. So long as you tow the party line and scratch back, abuses against the common people are tolerated.

@balan @dave @AnonymousBosch @BowsacNoodle @CatLord @WhiteDissidentRadio Absolute power is fine as long as there is absolute accountability. When the Fuher fucks something up, everyone knows who is responsible for the fuck up and who's head needs to be put on a spike. When globohomo libtard democracy fucks up everyone can blame everyone else and nobody is held to account for fuckups.

@LorgarAurelian1488 @balan @dave @AnonymousBosch @BowsacNoodle @CatLord To me, this is the beauty of authoritarianism. Accountability.

@balan @BowsacNoodle @dave @AnonymousBosch @WhiteDissidentRadio Hitler, Friedrich der Grosse, Friedrich William I (daddy), Maria Theresia, Wilhelm I, Wilhelm II, et alia, et alia. Pretty much the entire line of Prussian kings were benevolent autocrats. That's just Germany. Hardly a unicorn. You have a dumb view of history if you think autocrats are incompetent or malicious by default.

@CatLord @BowsacNoodle @dave @AnonymousBosch @WhiteDissidentRadio I make the safe assumption that anyone who seeks absolute power does not have my best interests heart.
-
@balan @dave @AnonymousBosch @WhiteDissidentRadio Well how else are you going to actually get your ideology to happen without authoritarianism? Even libertarianism, which I can understand the appeal of despite its shortcomings, would be most easily achieved through some type of massive authoritarian movement followed by a grand final act of "it's all dissolved now! Enjoy!" before the hypothetical leader steps down, destroying the government.
-
@BowsacNoodle @dave @AnonymousBosch @WhiteDissidentRadio yes, the unicorn government...benevolent authoritarianism.
-
@WhiteDissidentRadio @BowsacNoodle @AnonymousBosch @dave not everyone, but those who do tend to be the one's who run for office.

@AnonymousBosch @dave My irl tankie friends lean more Marxist rather than Stalinist, but they do run apologetics for USSR war atrocities. TBH I respect Stalinists for at least being practical rather than just "everything should be free, LMAO!" tier Marxist.
-
@BowsacNoodle @AnonymousBosch @dave Proving once again:
Everyone loves authoritarianism as long as it's their political ideology behind the rifle.
-
@dave All my irl “tankie” friends are more Stalinists, rather than Marxists, and generally play up the bloodthirstiness as a feature and not a bug.
