Opeboism is just a version of the modern wannabe social democratic left's policies taken to an extreme authoritarian level.

There is nothing authoritarian about it,Straha.
So mandating excessive regulations on business, taxing people into poverty and feedling the religious to lions doesn't count as authoritarian?

1 That doesn't seem "lenient" it seems Stalinist. I'm against megacorporations having big powers but I think you're crazy.

2 We need more proportional taxes yes but not anywhere close to your highly socialistic ideas

3 The best way to do that is to get private money out of elections. There is no need for your socialistic measures.

4 How are people who believe in a religion dangerous? I'm against religion in public life but I think you go WAY too far.

1 Those have lower growth rates and lower innovation

2 The point isn't to have higher tax rates. The point is to have more proportional rates.

3 Yes you are. you support a much higher minimum wage, more restrictions on business, not having free trade. That makes you 100% red socialist.

4 No its not all religious who are intolerant its just the christian coalition. While I find the US to be far too soically conservative and authoritarian for my tastes I don't think it should be called a police state. A nanny state yes but not a police state.

1 "working class" people aren't the priority of the economy. The priority is growth and innovation.

2 Higher tax rates slow economic growth.

3 No that's 100% communist.

4 I'd say its a nanny state. The laws against drugs and other victimless crimes are "justified" by some false idea that the state has the right to interfere in the lives of their citizens in the name of "public order/public morality" or some other BS.
