How would you answer this, and how would you expect Chinese netizens on Xiaohongshu to answer?

I will link to the thread in the comments because I want you to take a moment and think about it first.

What's a non-authoritarian state?

no state at all, I'm a libertarian socialist

So when you said "that kinda thing never works for long" you were referencing to any state? I think history has proven you wrong on that one, champ.

just look at rome, or any other empire for that matter, didn't last for ever, I was talking about the history of humanity, not a few lifetimes

Rome wasn't a state, and it lasted for many centuries. Don't try to pretend by "doesn't work for long" you were talking about geological time or something
