This is a pretty dumb take, all things considered.
Is Imperial Germany socialist now? How bout Franco’s Spain, or Pinochet’s regime? Tsarist Russia? How about most of the Middle East?
All Socialist regimes are authoritarian, but not all authoritarian regimes are socialist.
I also find the conservative movements reluctance to hit back at liberals disgustingly weak.
Why should we not use the very powers the enemy has given government against them?
Why should we not hurt them as much as we possibly can when we have power, when they have absolutely no hesitation or scruples about hurting us?
