    Central governments aren’t the exclusive domain of Marxists. There’s zero mention of using the state to uplift anyone. Holy moley the projection.

      The bit about centralizing all power in a single authority is pretty much the standard punch against Marxists. Having a central government is different from centralizing all of production. Secondly, there’s this part:

      The centralization of power in a single authority not only undermines individual autonomy but also infantilizes the very individuals it purports to protect. By relegating people to a subordinate status as dependents of the state, these systems strip them of agency and responsibility, suggesting that ordinary workers are incapable of making their own decisions

      What is this supposed to be attacking other than the notion that a proletarian state can be used to uplift the proletariat?
