Okay perhaps I should say reactionary.

That's probably not a great choice, but it is close enough, I suppose.

Basically, we would have an authoritarian form of government that lacked even the tiniest shred of legitimacy--which means that any dissent, be it left-wing or right-wing in origin, would be met with detention camps and death squads.

I, for one, do not relish the idea of having to be Noam Chomsky's cellmate.

For the 1st few years yes the opponents would be treated harshly but it would hopefully run along the lines of Pinochet in Chile. After all their opponents( mainly on the extreme left and people on the dole I don't think opponents on the right would be treated as harshly) had been crushed things would relax. Small price to pay for an end to socialism.
