      If we’re talking about economic systems or political parties, socialism can indeed be one “answer to authoritarianism”. It can also be authoritarian, even more than what its members seek to replace.

        Nope, by its definition it’s a dictatorship of the proletariat, it’s not authoritarian to subvert the rich and prevent capital from affecting politics. But given you subscribe to China bad US good, the left wing isn’t really for you.

          Yes, I don’t consider the CCP to be “left wing”. Where in my original post did I say “US good”? I don’t think you read what I wrote.
