doesn’t believe in authoritarianism.

Authoritarian is a meaningless pejorative. All states/countries/political groups etc. must be authoritarian by necessity in class society.

For heaven’s sake, his own guards were scared of him. In fact, he died because he instilled so much fear into them.

Major citation needed.

I don't even believe in a class society. I have several articles I can cite, but I'll use this one because it jumps straight to the point.

Lemmy.ml users are such obvious Russia/USSR propagandists. Y'all are so quick to suck up to sketchy leaders when you could be hoping for someone more classy like Thomas Sankara.

You don't think classes exist? Or you think it's possible to abolish classes at the press of a button without any transitionary phase? Either way this is idiotic.

more classy like Thomas Sankara.

Leader who believes the things I believe (Marxism Leninism) but was assassinated before the consolidation of the workers state began. You should probably investigate subjects before you speak on them.

This site won't load but from dealing with them previously I vaguely remember them as a liberal nonsense publisher however if you can provide an archive link or equivalent I can give my proper views on this article in particular.

How can you not "believe" in class society when it is a fact? Also, Sankara was a Marxist-Leninist, the very ideology you despise.
