    The modern definition of leftism is socialism and co. And socialism is inherently authoritarian.

      Socialism is uneventful authoritarian? The ideology where power, ownership of production, and wealth is decentralized, removed from the oligarchs and capitalist elite and given back to those who generate it? That’s authoritarian?

      I think you, like many who have been subjected to decades of propaganda have equated “socialism” with the failed states that are “communist” in name only, where power and production was centralized to be redistributeto the people, but never followed through with the decentralized part. They’re certainly authoritarian, but they are not socialist.

        Where is a socialist country run by people instead of a political elite class?

              Do you really believe capitalism gives economical to the people? And if yes, do you say “people” as “everyone” or “people” as “some people based on some criteria”?

          TIL… Elon’s Apartheid-catalyzed wealth is an example of “giving the people the power of the economy.”

          You should come up for air every now and then, bootlicker.

              Don’t choke yourself… just because you like the taste of expensive shoe polish doesn’t mean it has to go all the way in.

                You’re cute and all, but you should seriously consider getting mental help.

                  Just remember… just because a capitalist parasite pats you on the head while you’re rendering them this service doesn’t mean you’re irreplaceable.
