Can you give some examples of that because I didn't get your point?

  For example outright confiscation of wealth above $100m is quite a popular sentiment amongst liberals right now

    The original claim was: > liberals, when given the power, will corrupt into totalitarism in a few months. Is your complaint an actual example of that? I've never actually heard the argument - I've heard "billionaires should not exist", but never "we should have a 100% tax on those making more than $100m", so I don't know if the claim you're making is as popular as you're making it out to be, nor do I believe is it an example of totalitarianism. I also don't see actual examples of liberal governments doing that. People say lots of crazy stuff online, but "liberals say the darndest thing" is not the claim here.

      > nor do I believe is it an example of totalitarianism These conversations never go anywhere. The battlelines are already drawn. It just becomes a semantic debate around loosely defined terms like totalitarianism.

        Yeah, fair enough. It's become synonymous with "something I don't like".
