The Cultural Revolution is a mixed bag. While there are some things that would fit in my worldview, I believe that once authoritarianism takes hold it gets corrupted.

I think that a world based on the ideas of Kropotkin, Marx, and Goldman is possible. The State would have to actually use the taxes it collects for the people. Would also take at least a decoupling of necessities and capital, which is what makes it unlikely to happen anytime soon.

exactly dude, i also think the same thing but i think the question it poses is more about mob rule than authoritarianism, i really hope that later on theres more experiments like the cultural revolution because i hope the masses do genuinely take power, or at least not have the majority oppressing a minority of people & the like.

I can definitely agree with that, but the need to be wary to not become the thing we hate is of great importance. Mob rule more times than not becomes authoritarian after revolution
