Just because you have a weird fetish for

  • unequal dispensation of benefits according to your political loyalty, class, or ethnic origin
  • illegitimate authority sending you to forced labor camps
  • secret police extrajudicially killing your indoctrinated ass
  • purges, mass executions
  • unrestricted power to trample your freedom of movement, assembly, speech

and the state altogether treating you like its bitch, that doesn't mean everyone else needs to share in your perversion.

At least in a liberal democracy, the state is our bitch when we criticize politicians, oust them from office, take abusers to trial. Most of us in liberal democracies aren't getting fucked over by the wealthy in any palpable way. And when they do fuck us over, we get to challenge them in court with legal equality before the rule of law.

In contrast, when the state fucks you over, you don't get to challenge shit.

So, it's great you embrace your state-dom fetish, but no one's asking.

Not sure why you assume I'm pro authoritarian state-socialism nor why you can't imagine more than two options.
