I don't like spending this much time arguing against campism but they just keep talking at me.

If you think communism on a large scale doesn't have to be authoritarian, you haven't looked enough at history and how humans work.

like it is barely manageable to maintain farming collectives which is relatively small scale but anything past that is bound to endless ugly mutations into something unfair and cruel.

Alright here's my 2 cents.

There exists an impossibly we'll organized & funded ruling class. Our society broadly is uneducated or misinformed.

How do people intend to reverse course without a very powerful form of authoritarian-leftism?

Do we intent to reform our governments so radically without the use of authoritarian mechanisms?

How do you get the average person on board with a communist society without striping the privileges the ruling class has almost always enjoyed?

I'm in favor of radical reforms. Those reforms would necessitate authoritarian mechanisms geared against the ruling class and their consolidation of wealth & power.

Americans programming will break when they see it working. Why do you think they try so hard to stop it?
