Socialism may not be authoritarian in concept but it certainly is in practice. under Socialism the people get a share of the profits, but under Authoritarianism, it all goes to the authority/State/government. Remember, I'm talking about leftism in general, not socialism. But even if I was, there is no feasible way to distribute a government's profits without the government as an intermediary. You can't have everyone in a country of 40 million sit in a kumbaya circle and take their fair share of bread. In a socialist government, they have to stand in bread lines to get their rations for the week from the government. And we already went over how Nazi Germany had a huge and robust welfare system, didn't we? So not all the profits were being taken by the state there. hockeybub89 posted... Why has the world at large erroneously pegged Nazis as right-wing since WW2? What are they hiding? Why don't they make the same mistake with Stalin and the Soviets? Why has this fake news conspiracy gained so much traction that almost everyone has accepted it for decades, including nearly all experts? Ever heard of the bandwagon fallacy?
