    I am not the one you are asking, but personally, in my honest opinion: An “emergency government”, lets say with a 20 year term, removing far right parties, doing the necessary changes to massively reduce our climate impact and prepare for the ineviteable fallout from climate change and doing other reforms wouldn’t be THAT bad of an idea…

      It absolutely would be a horrible idea lol. wtf are you talking about?!

      You’re asking for a dictatorship as long as it’s one that says they’ll do what you want. If you make rules allowing for a political party to remove any competitors and install themselves in power for as long as they want, how could it possibly go wrong?. Jesus Christ.

      So would you be ok with trump declaring an emergency government for himself for the next 20 years and removing all far left policies and making sure no left of centre parties can ever take control?

        No, what i am dalking about is: We WILL see a rise of an authoritarian party in germany in the near future, as we see with many countries worldwide at the moment. And i say: IF we are already doomed to have an authoritarian / fascist regime, i prefer it to be on the ecofascist side. And if there will be an opportunity for such an regime, well, i WILL support it.

            I don’t think you know what authoritarianism actually is.

            I have relatives in China and Vietnam and lived in both places for extended periods of time… well, let’s just say i have a rough estimate…

                Mate, open a fucking newspaper and read it. For a nice, supersized big and fat example be on the lookout for news about a country south of Canada.

                  I was hoping you would say the USA. Can you please give actual specific examples of the USA moving towards authoritarianism?

                  This should show if you actually do know what authoritarianism is quite easily.

      Yeah, “emergency powers” have never caused any problems in the past …
