Authoritarian Socialists

So, the Republicans are pro-business and the Democrats are socialists?

Come on people. Open your eyes and free your brains.

Take a good look at what is going on down in Florida: Why Colorado’s Democratic governor called Ron DeSantis socialist.

And this a real thing:

Authoritarian socialism, or socialism from above,^[1] is an economic and political system supporting some form of socialist economics while rejecting political liberalism. As a term, it represents a set of economic-political systems describing themselves as socialist and rejecting the liberal-democratic concepts of multi-party politics, freedom of assembly, habeas corpus and freedom of expression, either due to fear of the counter-revolution or as a means to socialist ends. Several countries, most notably the Soviet Union, China and their allies, have been described by journalists and scholars as authoritarian socialist states

The only pro-capitalism party in America is the Democrats.

One of my remaining friends sent this email:

DeSantis re: Twitter v. Musk

"That's a ruling junta that's using their policies to try to marginalize people that disagree with them."

Moments later:

Disney executives re: recent Florida legislation

“That's a ruling junta that's using their policies to try to marginalize people that disagree with them.”
