The working class state is the next natural evolution of the state, the same way the bourgeois state was the next natural evolution of the feudal state. This is basic Marc.
Only violent intervention could make a state regress from working class to bourgeois, or from bourgeois to feudal. A state that prevents violent intervention is not an authoritarian state. Or at least far less authoritarian than a state that violently suppresses peaceful movements of progress.
Class struggle does not end with the implementation of socialism, this is also basic Marx. The capitalist class does not go away over night, and state authority is still used to protect it. Private property is gradually collectivized by force. It is not more or less “authoritarian,” because such a comparison is meaningless. It wields authority in favor of the working classes, rather than capitalists.
