I don't like spending this much time arguing against campism but they just keep talking at me.

A picture of Gus Friv captioned "I'm cool with communism because I don't believe it has to be authoritarian; you're cool with communism because you don't mind if its authoritarian; we are not the same."

How does one become communist without forcing the billionaire to give up their wealth? Is it not through the use of authority?

    You are conflating force and authority

    Certainly the forced removal of their wealth must look like authoritarianism to the billionaire, no?

    That's debatable, I don't call FAFO authority, but I guess I could see how someone could argue that being limited in doing whatever the fuck one wants is authoritarianism.

    In any case, the entire premise of the initial question is flawed and this argument makes little sense
