Cars kill people but they're not designed to. The problem with Marxism is that it's a requirement to kill people. You can't avoid the authoritarianism. To those who don't want this your only solution is the pits. Read your history.

The actual problems are due to unprincipled new liberalism. It's a Ferengi philosophy of profits over everything else. We have all the laws on the books already to deal with this but no one with balls to enforce any of it. I assume you think Sanders might but he can't even stand up for himself when the DNC and Hillary attack him.

Utter nonsense.

Authoritarianism, maybe, depends.

Eugenics is the only dogma that requires murder.

Laws, written by the ruling class, don't count for much without enforcement.

You assume a lot.

Sanders was chickenshit in 2016 when it actually counted. How will he be any different this time?

Also, fuck Hillary, the DNC, and the GOP.

Authoritarianism

You can't escape it bro. The only answer is classical liberalism which recognizes that there is no utopia. All we can do is make systems which are less shit than before. It's the journey, not the destination.

Also, fuck Hillary, the DNC, and the GOP.

Agreed.

Commies are far from the only authoritarians.

Totalitarianism or Inverted-Totalitarianism = same shit, just different ways of keeping it shitty.

Minarchism, IMO is the best way. I'd say anarchism, but that leave everyone free to organize into their own tribes and then do evil tribe things - so some kind of minarchy - or decentralized minarchies - are necessary.
