        A state the exists as a servant to a citizenry that is not limited to class or ethnicity. A state served as a safeguard to the human rights of all humans within its sovereignty.

        It also serves as a mechanism to efficiently direct resources to human advancement as basic needs are automated.

              Jesus, at this point why don’t you just admit that by “non-authoritarian” you just mean “white”.

              Finland? Where despite years of protest by the people, the state continues to buy Israeli weapons and cooperate with the zionist entity in the development of military tech and spyware? The state currently ignoring the very clear wishes of it’s people in order to aid and abet a historically unpopular genocide?

                  Finland lost ww2 as a member of the axis. The finnish army aided in the siege and starvation of Leningrad, which was one of the worst atrocities of ww2.

                  After they lost the war, they ceded part of their territory to become an SSR, and were never strong enough again to challenge the eastern bloc.

                    Did something happen prior to that which may have made Finland less than friendly to the Soviet Union?

                    I wonder why they may not have wanted to ally with the country that just invaded them.

              The country that was a Nazi ally and didn’t drop the swastika from their air force insignia until 2025? Finland the country currently implementing mass austerity while giving tax cuts to the rich? That Finland?

                The Finnish Air Force swastika is such an interesting case to me, because the moment you do a google for “Finnish air force swastika”, you are blasted with rationalizations: “predates nazism”, “good luck charm”, “innocent”, “unrelated to Hitler”. You get blasted with rationalizations before you can even see the history: which is that the innocent wholesome chungus dude who brought the swastika was Hermann Göring’s brother in law lol.

                  And the fact that he was himself a leading member of the Swedish National Socialist Bloc (Nazi party)

          No just one out of every 14 people, which you may notice is many thousands of times more democratic than any of the western so-called democracies by percentage.

            So 13 out of 14 people do not belong to the only political coalition (the 8 parties with 700,000 members total don’t really count as “opposition parties”) that is legally allowed in their country?

            In reference to my original post, we agree that authoritarianism is bad and you are arguing the case that China and the CCP is not authoritarian, correct?

              They seem to be doing a pretty good job

              we agree that authoritarianism is bad

              No. We disagree that “authoritarianism” is a meaningful distinction when every government exists by authority. Might as well call it “badguyism”

                Why do you believe the “democracy perceptions index”?

                Take a look at their supporters… like Palantir and Microsoft.
