What distinguishes "punk" from "authoritarian?" Is it not punk to radically "abolish the present state of things," as Marx says, and which the PRC is steadfastly working towards? What makes the PRC "authoritarian" in a way that makes it unacceptable?
I'm also unconvinced that energy prices at effectively 0 will solve everything either, class struggle remains, and we will all have to follow in the footsteps of countries like China in overthrowing the bourgeoisie, as they did in 1949.
