Odd, how authoritarianism seems to have a different meaning to the left. They seem to equate policies of allowing greater personal liberty with that word.
Also, how often have Socialists who claim that no one has tried real Socialism or Communism been challenged to explain why previous attempts have not been real and how they plan to implement the real kind of Socialism?
Its Democratic Socialism! They hope to convince voters to use the ballot box to seize private property. (The common good requires a lot of capital)
They never have an explanation as to how to incentivize people to continue to produce with no other reward than a pat on the back since profit will be abolished
