Have to disagree on this one.
How would this even work? You transfer monero to a person in an authoritarian state and then what? What do they do with Monero? You think an authoritarian state is going to allow you to pay for utilities with Monero? Buy food?
Monero doesn't allow for private transactions as this issue is a social and political problem, not a technology issue.
I wouldn't be surprised if your transactions would be less private with monero than a bank payment (because of Monero's unlicensed nature).
