Authoritarianism attacks democracy from the outside, while neoliberalism erodes it from the inside. There is no way to effectively deal with one without dealing with the other. One is a disease; the other, a systemic weakening of the immune system in a way that strengthens the disease.

From our earliest ages we are taught to choose a party and clinch onto it! Donate to it! Rally for it! With venom and hell fire attack and demean anyone who challenges your parties power and dominance! We were raised with this programming. Look how poorly the results are!

Authoritarianism is like a virus from the outside that attacks the body. Neoliberalism is like a cancer where the body eats away at itself.

What attacks from the outside are happening? Our press refuses to cover Sy Hersh's story about the Nordstream pipeline and our government has taken Black Socialists as political prisoners for using their free speech.

Nothing more authoritarian than government agencies informally or formally using corporate platforms to silence. Mussolini to a T.

They think they can just dictate who the choice of voters is for 2024 The gall of a flailing tired corrupt group of hacks and girfters sadly Only somewhat dependable Joe Biden (with growing scandals) can be the candidate
