Believe it or not, I grew up there and I saw where the road to excessive centralization leads. And it's kinda spooky to see the West recreate every fallacy of USSR, sincerely believing that this time it will be different.

Centrally-planned production targets for industries? Price controls? Strict control of information by the government? Single-party government? Prevention of emigration? Government harassment and persecution of intellectuals? Abolition of private property?

I'm not really seeing any of that here in the West. What are you referring to?


Appreciate the response. I guess we'll agree to disagree.
