I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

Dude are you a bot? For the 500th time I NEVER SAID YOU HAVE LESS FREEDOM IN A SOCIALIST SOCIETY
That is a straw man you have made up and keep arguing against
You’ve said “authoritarianism” is about “restricting individual freedoms,” and categorized me and existing socialist states as “authoritarian.” These are contradictions, though, they both cannot be true.
I understand that you are generally categorizing socialist society as something on the left, and saying you can have a bigger or smaller state, etc. I am telling you that this isn’t how society works in real life. The state and the mode of production are interconnected, and reinforce each other. They aren’t sliders you select in a lab, you can’t just have a bigger or smaller state like that.
I’m not a bot, no. You haven’t responded to me saying class analysis is critical, you’ve brushed it aside entirely and continued to re-affirm the original statement.
I literally never did and I am done reading your page long responses that involve you not reading anything I wrote, making up an argument and then responding to that I have had more productive conversations with a homeless man on the bus
These are your words. I do read what you write, as much as you insist that I’m not. I agree that this conversation isn’t very productive, but I think it’s more due to your refusal to actually engage with what I’ve been saying and instead just re-affirm the useless political compass as though it actually means anything.
Really don’t like the way you casually look down on the homeless, too.
