People often compare MAGA to Maoism in terms of methods used, so there’s that.
Attacks on intellectuals and academia, attempts to foster local manufacturing (that will turn out to be shit in quality), cult of personality, having some outsiders do the dirty job for you (Red Guards gangs compared to Elon and his minions), that were later dumped in somewhat Machiavellian fashion.
So yeah, for now it looks like he picked out the worst parts of worst attempts to implement socialism.
AOTUS is everything I despise, but he didn’t install anything.
The US has always been a fascist kleptocracy.
Just because we are shit doesn’t mean we have to wallow in it. This administration is trying to force everyone to literally eat shit while smiling and saying you voted for it.
It is straight up abusive. Like we are all in a dysfunctional relationship with a sociopath. There is no escape only more terror, we can’t leave. Psychological warfare on his own people.
That’s why I specified “methods” and “worst parts of worst attempts”.
So there’s the irony of still existing Red Scare in US, and how building iron smelter in every backyard would probably sound like great idea for leadership, but free lunches in schools are socialism and therefore bad.

Except for the part that he’s not actually implementing socialism.
He is installing a faccistic kleptocracy.

I keep waiting to see some action to stop it.
