We are reliving the first half of the 20th century. Communism was a promise to harness the Means of Production, wealth and capital for the common person. The journey and its end were were far different than the vision that was sold. One case study is that murderous Russia exported communist ideas to Germany and radicalization of Germany's left wing begat radicalization of the right. We can argue chicken and egg but the end result of extremist choices is that a traumatized Germany chose the radical right under AH. Even though he never won a majority vote.

If they have better ideas let them sell it to voters exactly what it means. And let voters tell them yes or no. That is what a democracy is all about. Anything else is not democracy. It is authoritarian.
