It's not authoritarian to outlaw unjust systems of power. I'm sure slave owners considered the US "authoritarian central planners" when they outlawed slavery. Doesn't make it wrong.
- pembrook 2y agoThis is a non sequitur. I'm not saying central planning in general is bad. Companies are an example of central planning. So are families. I'm saying communism is bad.
- tempfile 2y agoIt is not a non sequitur! You called them "authoritarian central planners". Am I supposed to think you consider "authoritarian central planners" a totally neutral phrase with no connotations? It's telling you mention central planning in your response, when I objected to your use of authoritarian. If you had originally said "you will vote for <legislators> who will <implement laws>" your original comment is not quite as punchy, I think.
