There is no such thing as "soft totalitarianism", only totalitarianism.

Remember: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”. If people feel broken by words alone, then this is only because they allowed it and gave power to such words themselves.

It always ends with elite groups setting themselves up with all the power and money,
It is the nature of the human species to want to be top dog.

We are as territorial as every other species on the earth.
Instead of the left thinking they can bring about world utopia, they would be better
preparing for the inevitable territorial nature of the human species.

It never fails to end the same way. Whether the system is Communism or Capitalism.
People will always grab the biggest lions share of territorial wealth and resources for themselves.
It still happens like clockwork and can always be predicted, although it can take a few generations.
