Says the tankie to the anarchist, both living in delusion of practical reality.
Your cruel maskless authoritarianism will make an example to the world of what not to do. Over and over again people like you are revealed to want one thing. Control without check. It's why you're scared of capitalism. You actually have to be worth a damn to compete in a market, but when you embrace authoritarian ideals all you need are friends and guns.
The last two decades of American stagnation in terms of wages and take home pay are largely thanks to the repressive policies of overseas authoritarian "socialists" who justify their repression with the same ideals you do. They suppress their people's income to make their manufacturing competitive and undermine American labor in the process.
And American tolerance for their bullshit thanks to our naive idea that we are invincible and these countries will "come around".
I'd love to come back in a decade to see how this all pans out for you, but you'll probably be parroting the exact same narrative despite continued evidence that a mixed market economy with strong unions is the best structure for society we have today.
