Communism/Marxism is the cure for all of this.
Command-and-control regimes, no matter what they may style themselves to be, are long on promises and extremely short on positive benefits for the subjects of their authoritarian rule. To complete the tagline I am using, “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”, the phrase “but do not discount the probability that stupidity may be combined with malice for a most synergistic effect, compounding the problem”, should be added.
Doubling down on a losing hand never works. The bluff always ends up being called.
