It makes you wonder about communism as a whole. Does it always lead to totalitarianism? Etc
considering the answer to democracy is literally “well you can vote one in” as we have recently found out in america.
Yeah probably. If even the most rugged institutions are not impervious to this problem, i think it’s fair to safe that no institution is.
It’s healthy to see all the nut jobs from time to time and reflect on your own steps.
If your views align with the nut jobs for example that makes you wonder hmm something is wrong.
my rule of thumb for politics is that if you have an opinion it and you are wrong and you should stop holding that opinion. Politics is vastly too complicated for even a lifelong PHD thesis to be capable of understanding. Let alone some dude who gets all his news from idiots yelling at a camera online.
The best thing we can do is to prevent ourselves from getting to extreme before it starts.
