    At this point those are just empty words.

    China’s version of socialism is pretty much authoritarian capitalism while Musk is keen on promoting capitalist authoritarism. So it’s really a match made in heaven…

        It’s not even communism flavored

        It’s an authoritarian dictatorship.

        I wouldn’t contrast the two too much.“Red Facism” is something more akin to Stalinist Russia or Maoist China. Contemporary China is way more interconnected with capitalism and global trade than those system ever were (or even wanted to be). Today’s China is like capitalism on steroids (steroids being the ordinary people that collectively fed to system in order to keep it afloat). So it’s not really a historical parallel with what’s described in the Wikipedia article.
