Many people on lemmy.ml deeply respect and admire authoritarian governments and organizations.
Iran, China, North Korea, Soviet Union…
The West has many flaws. But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.
Iran hangs homosexuals. Iran shot 30,000 people in less than than 2 weeks. The Soviet Union had to build a fucking Iron wall to prevent people from escaping. The Soviets lied about the Chernobyl nuclear explosion. China censors the internet. China wants to eliminate Islam. North Korea is a totalitarian hellscape. Watching anime is a crime.
Why is lemmy.ml so fascinated with authoritarians?
i mean, its been the thesis of leftism for a little while now.
you got a better thesis for a different organisation of the economy?
There cannot be a better thesis because that is literally the best thesis.
It’s also a thesis that would only work properly for a colony of ants. Otherwise, all we get is an authoritarian shithole, which isn’t much of an improvement over our current capitalist shithole.
