Edit: I want to say that if certain people weren’t dead set on trolling I would have engaged in the argument that the US is already authoritarian. I’m inclined to fully agree. The constitution was written by wealthy whites wanting to preserve their own power. They did sprinkle in some democracy and we do thank them for that. All this to say, that was never my contention.
Conventionally ideology is measured on a spectrum. If being moderately authoritian offends you, move the fuck left.
That’s too small, I can’t read that. Can you explain?
Explain why you can’t read that? You’re trolling.
I think they’re asking you to explain your definition of authoritarian.
My definition of authoritianism is the definition of authoritarianism.
…that’s why they asked you though, because everyone’s definition is a little different. That’s… Kind of the point of the whole thing you’re posting.
From my point of view you’re the one who is trolling now.
No it’s not why they asked. They disingenuously feigned ignorance so they could better frame their argument.
Isn’t that kind of what you’re doing too?
Nope.
Because it’s too small and I’m not expanding it. I was hoping you wouldn’t be boring.
Authoritarianism is an imaginary distinction between everything permitted by the democratic system of the USA and what Hitler accomplished with tyrannic procedures.
Why would I willingly engage a troll? Are you insane?
In contrast to Germany, the U.S.A. had a constitution which was democratic from the start. And its ruling class managed, particularly during the imperialist era, to have the democratic forms so effectively preserved that by democratically legal means, it achieved a dictatorship of monopoly capitalism at least as firm as that which Hitler set up with tyrannic procedures. This smoothly functioning democracy, so-called, was created by the Presidential prerogative, the Supreme Court’s authority in constitutional questions, the finance monopoly over the Press, radio, etc., electioneering costs, which successfully prevented really democratic parties from springing up beside the two parties of monopoly capitalism, and lastly the use of terroristic devices (the lynching system). And this democracy could, in substance, realize everything sought by Hitler without needing to break with democracy formally. In addition, there was the incomparably broader and more solid economic basis of monopoly capitalism.
Oh noooo oh my god someone was disingenuous on the internet as a joke 😰😰😥😥😨😨😨😥😥😨😥😥😨 im going to curl up into a ball and die

Well I didn’t pick your username. I’m here to live inside people’s walls, not be a dipshit. I don’t care if you all get mad, it’s funny. I will continue to explain things.

You should probably finish reading the thread before you start puffing yourself up and posting totally badass memes with pitbulls smoking cigars.
