State socialists have some reasonable explanations for the authoritarian aspects of the USSR and sometimes China but they're so easily provoked (online) it's hard to find them in the flood of reactionary dumbassery going on around it. Don't take this as a defense of state socialism. It's not. But their logic has some merit if you believe a state is a necessary institution in a socialist/communist society
Yes, I found that to very much be the case with lemmygrad.
