The goal with the red scare then and the anti socialism crusade now is to make people scared, so they crave authoritarianism.

Tbh idk how people believed capitalism could be a good thing to begin with.

In nature, anything that grows indefinite is bound to corrupt. Even our cells. If there’s no controlled growth it turns into cancer.

Idk man. Idk.

Really, the thing that people fear is authoritarianism. And it can happen in any government so long as power is consolidated.

Power corrupts.

Even socialism would still use eminent domain to take property, but itd likely be for something a bit better than that. Probably a highway, train, or building that is more for the public good (e.g airport, power plant, hospital)

Sometimes shit is just in the way and a government needs a way to be able to work around it.

I imagine the compensation would be more fair as well.
