Communism failed and the USSR collapsed, unchecked capitalism has failed and the USA is collapsing. Two extremes, similar outcomes.

the real problem was authoritarianism all along

Libertarian capitalism isn't much better since it still leaves powerful people in charge, and is a very individualistic idiology that isolates people.

But yeah, authoritarianism is bad in basically every case.

Not allowing people to gain any kind of power to begin with is what we need.

libertarian capitalism, i would argue, is authoritarianism wearing a different hat
