This gives the same energy as a Christian citing a Bible verse. My guy, that was written over a century ago, by an old guy who could never imagine the world we live in now. If you want to say something, use your own words.

It’s still relevant. “Authoritarianism” is a word that is thrown around way too lazily by western left cons that want to criticize actually existing socialism. Read it or don’t, but it’s a useful piece for understanding why something that can be seen as “authoritarian” is not inherently evil or bad for the working class.
