You can host a stable diffusion instance locally via Automatic 1111. I'm on my phone so no instructions, but the Googles should help from here.

If there is anyone who can "handle" this situation without too much fallout it's them. Here's hoping.

It's almost like it's on purpose... Like the offense and defense of the capital class...

I hope they're painful. He deserves it.

The thing that stops the nudity is the AI model iirc. By using Automatic1111 and models from civitai, the debauchery is unlimited.

Pinned post in the community had a walk through of how to set it up. After that it's just a matter of saving things in the right location and perusing civitai for interesting models to play with.

Who manages the socialized services, stops monopolies, stops cartels, pmcs ect. I'm all about direct democracy; if it were possible to do without a managing authority, but while I have my idealistic streak, even I can see it's just not tenable. Federated authorities are still an authority.

I think so long as it remains divorced from the material reality of a society, then do what you will. I personally agree with Marx that religion is a balm for societal wounds that would be better healed by fixing the material reality that created those wounds in the first place. Materially stable people are better emotionally equipped to handle the realities of existence without looking for dogmatic excuses for the world around them... I apologize if the latter half of that came off more harsh than I intended.

Nobody gives up power willingly, with very few exceptions. I would say that is not auth specific.(Ironically Stalin tried to step down multiple times, we can debate the authetisity of those times elsewhere.)

From a purely materialist pov, once we reach sustainable communism, the state is no longer required to manage material division. At that point, to be honest, I don't know. I would like to think that a state without purpose would simple wither, but I think we all know that is highly idealistic. So I'm going to cop out and say let's focus on getting there first.

I'm an optimist at heart. ( Think Che's quote on a revolutionary love) And I would want to believe that no one wants power if there is no reason material reason to pursue it. I also understand that is grossly naive and unrealistic. So how do we handle it... Man that's a hell of a question huh? If you find a good answer, let me know?
