      I wish horseshoe theory was real. We can go even farther right than this, to literal kingdoms. Countries we often describe as going “too far left” became more hierarchical.

        The horseshoe is absolutely real. Social democracy (like the stuff that candidate proposes) is on the middle, and both sides go out into a corrupt authoritarian government where the elites own everything.

          I’d say it’s more of a fact that there is no single axis political spectrum, and communists are not “further to the left” from democratic socialists, but just more towards authoritarianism.
