authoritarian: bingo - not saying there is a perfect 'system' but at least capitalism allows some potential for independence from an authoritarian state by means of accumulating wealth for oneself (ie- to escape or pay bribes to live comfortably within). Either way, the point is - you give your power (tax dollars, freedoms) to any 'system' and it will be used against you; if not now then later by opportunistic infiltrators.
