What is a "non-authoritarian" state? You didn't answer my question, you just restated your assertion. What "alternatives" exist?
My position is very clear: the state is a tool by which one class oppresses the others, and this is by definition authoritarian. A working class state, no matter how democratic it is for the working classes, is still authoritarian as it oppresses the rest. This is a necessary step forward towards stateless society, however.
Okay, great, so we're all in agreement here, Marxism-Leninism is auth left. That's the only point I care to discuss here.
Again, you never clarified, do you mean anything with a state is "auth?"
