All states are “authoritarian” in that they are all tools by which the ruling class dominates the others. The working classes controlling a state still wield its authority to dominate capitalists, fascists, landlords, etc, but this use of authority liberates the majority. The authority question is therefore not a question of amount, but in whose hands, the working classes or capitalists.

China is authoritarian

So are Google, Facebook and Microsoft. But these entities can’t be held accountable because they are “private companies”
