No it's not. "Leads to" signifies that something turns into it. The regimes that are commonly referred to never turned authoritarian, they started authoritarian - much to Chomsky's and other libertarian socialists dismay.
- zepto 5y agoOk, I’ll give you that distinction. Socialism inevitably is authoritarian.
- cloudfifty 5y agoThat's luckily easy for anyone to discover is incorrect by a half-arsed google search and a somewhat honest attitude to learning.
- zepto 5y agoA Google search will tell you what people would like socialism to be. Empirical examples tell you what it is. You’ve already agreed with this.
- cloudfifty 5y agoStill not true.
- zepto 5y agoYou: “The regimes that are commonly referred to never turned authoritarian, they started authoritarian - much to Chomsky's and other libertarian socialists dismay.”
- cloudfifty 5y agoDidn't you get the hint with Chomsky being both a socialist and anti-authoritarian may mean that socialism is not just those regimes? I'll assume you're just being willfully obtuse at this point (and given your comment history, I'm not surprised).
