Yes, agreed. I wasn't implying MLs are benign in their authoritarianism, only that MLs are not Nazi-like in their authoritarianism. Unlike Nazi's, MLs are not hyper-nationalistic, do not rely on a cult of personality, are not racially motivated, not interested in world domination, and are generally not in the business of exterminating minorities to create a pure strain of human. But Mls do create their own kind of police state.

I would go further and say that all nation states are police states. If you have a state, and you have police, you have a police state. Some police states are just less obvious or aggressive than others.
