perhaps powerful systems of oppression bordering on authoritarianism is actually what we need? i detest that thought itself. it's my personal hell. but with everything that is happening maybe society as a whole needs more enforced structures than we believe.
also to clear up my first sentence. by some definition, what has been done in El Salvador might be called oppressive or authoritarian, but it's hard to deny the positive effects of such an undertaking.
I get what you're saying, but any error correction that creates significantly more centralised state control allows for Stalin, Hitler, Mao type catastrophes, which are arguably the worst atrocities in history. We just have to find a third way, which is kinda what western civilization strives to do I think?
