Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take

A benevolent dictatorship that supports all of my opinions and worldviews.

The worst is a malevolent dictatorship that does not support all of my opinions and worldviews.

Another vote for omnibenevolent ai here. The problem with benevolent dictatorship is that it's not a plan so much as a wish. How do you get that nice, smart person into power and keep him there? What happens when he croaks? Rome tried this at various times and its just not stable. Besides you run into all the usual issues concerning human corruptability anyway. Program an ai to govern. Give it a sarcastic sense of humor so people dont feel alienated, and to keep things interesting. Wahlah. Perfect governance and religion too if you want to play it that way.

Also what does a benevolent dictator do when there is no benevolent course of action.

OK, but I'm talking about removing ideology from government.

This is literally impossible.

Can someone explain to me the difference between Libertarianism and Communism because both seem to have an endgame consisting of "and then everyone is nice to each other and no more state is needed."
