    I agree, authoritarian systems with lots of power in few hands are indeed risky. Why is that necessary for Socialism or Communism, and why is it okay in Capitalism?

      Havent pretty much all communist nations been very authoritarian? Not all capitalist nations are authoritarian

        Depends. How do you define authoritarian? I’d argue all states are authoritarian, Capitalist or not, but get less so with development. Still, Capitalism remains a limiting factor, as it’s by structure authoritarian.
