When I first got on lemmy some of the hexies tried to convince me that N Korea was a pretty chill place to live. Hexbear is still the only instance I’ve seen of horseshoe theory actually existing.

  The thing they have in common aren’t left/right things—that’s most people in most nations. Authoritarianism is authoritarianism. And governments, like people, can be left/right socially and the opposite, economically.

    They’re not economically left wing though: State capitalism is still capitalism. Bourgeois don’t cease to be bourgeois because they control everything and you have to call them comrade.

    Maybe! It looks like state capitalism imo, but I’d really need to have this discussion with people who are well versed in economics, and not USA style economics, since we’ve basically messed up the meanings of everything. I’m wondering what Picketty might say?
