      You result to insults when it really isn’t necessary at all. Viewing this exchange, any validity you had in your arguments is strongly undermined by your character.

          Did you even read thos thread of exchanges between you and SCB?

          You escalated. Every time. He didn’t even match your escalation, he simply made more conversation.

          At this point, you’re not just looking crude and needlessly aggressive, you’re looking unhinged.

          Someone saying ‘communism doesn’t work’ is not a personal attack, even if they’re wrong. Get a grip.

      structures like worker councils, Authoritarianism isn’t required in the slightest.

      Those worker councils, to operate with any efficiency, will need a national council. To have any success whatsoever, this national council needs the authority to dictate what is made, where it is made, how much is made when, and where goods are to be shipped.

      That is authoritarianism.

          Secondly, by your very same logical chain, Capitalism is more authoritarian, as only the state and the Bourgeoisie call the shots, rather than democratic control.

          This sentence doesn’t make sense. Capitalism is an economic system. One can be capitalist and authoritarian, as is the case with fascism, or one can be totally and completely laissez-faire as a state policy in some sort of Objectivist hellstate. Liberal Democracy is what keeps those things from happening, as a competing system of government.
