    USA slowly changing into country like Russia, Izrael or China.

    It was easy to predict that giving all the power to small group of oligarchs will end up like that. What’s next, complete removal of independent media or no more elections.

    USA is not a democracy, two party system and oligarchs did it, techno feudalism it’s the future.





  • Basically every single economist who was not far far right wing/liberal, said that giving all the power to the small group of people, and removing society control over economy will fail, and it will create ultra wealth class, people without any morals, any empathy towards rest of the people. You don’t have to be a anarchist, socialist, communist, also people like Adam Smith, wrote the same thing.

    From what i know, only very radical groups like Chicago Boys, promoted the model that we have right now.

    It’s like with climate change. Every specialist, every one who knows the basics, is saying that you cannot pollute the world so much, and pretend that humans are not killing the ecosystem.




  • It doesn’t matter if a country is authoritarian or democratic

    It matters a lot. Authoritarian is evil from the beginning. If you have authoritarianism, then you’re giving the power to a small group of people, therefore creating new rulling class. And as we know from the history, a lot of power in a hands of few, always corrupts.

    It doesn’t matter who is your lord, or how is your master is presenting himself. Doesn’t matter if he is saying that god send him here, or his parents were kings, or he earn tons of money thanks to other people work, or he is a “working class” hero who now want to control other workers and people.

    I’m not saying that i’m democrat, but it’s still better than oligarchy authoritarianism. Democracy gives you chance to change that, to at least change who is making decision, who is in power. That’s why oligarchs wants to take control of democracy, by creating one or two party system (China, USA, CCCP), or they will take control over media, and destroy independent journalism so no one knows what’s going on (Russia).





  • China well known for state capitalism. Lack of basic human rights, genocides, and so on?

    Dude. You know that in china regular person have almost sero power of what’s going on?

    You cannot call a country free and rulled by the people, when there are laogai, hundreds or more of them.

    Also china is closed ally of north Korea, totalitarian regime, with small rulling class and starving people.

    China is just better in capitalism than neoliberal countries, but this is not make it great.


  • How you want to choose your new leaders, how do you want to make decisions? There’s not a lot of freedom in authoritarian.

    If through the democracy, voting, discussions, then you system is opposite of authoritarian, it’s a direct democracy and it’s somewhere in the anarchy, syndicalism area (I like that idea).

    If power will be given to group of people, how you want to choose them, how you want to take power from them after some time. Power corrupt people, and this is leading to authoritarian state.

    And giving a lot of power to group of people creates new rulling class. How do you want to prevent it?



  • Oligarchs are the problem. They are creating the system, where small group of people have all the power.

    If you look in to the history, it was always like that. They would change the name of the system, but it works the same way. From monarchy to religious regimes, from capitalism to other authoritarian regimes. From time to time they will use left wing slogans i.e. Nazis was pretending to be socialists.

    Look where’s the power. Who has it. If it’s in a hands of a small group, you’re fucked.
