(11,481 posts)independent press?" Are you saying the press is independent now? A mass medium costs a lot of money to operate. Done correctly, a state controlled media would give the average person the same control as Rupert Murdoch. However, in our current system the ONLY people who have control over the media are the wealthy. The people have nothing.
But that's why it's key to overthrow ALL branches of the bourgeoisie system, the economic, the political, and the social. If the government is ACTUALLY controlled BY THE PEOPLE, why would it be a problem?
As to the authority question, immediate recallibility is the key there. As a Trot, I also have a SERIOUS problem with a bureaucracy. It was LITERAL life and death for people who believed like me just a few decades ago.
