Ditto. Did get a chuckle out of this tweet about it:
@stephenburanyi
It is shocking to me that eastern bloc style communism didn't flourish here. It's like people wanted the culture of the police state with none of the free stuff.(sauce: https://twitter.com/stephenburanyi/status/1243869774351826944)
Still, at least we don't have that nasty jeremy crobyn, eh? He'd probably have nationalised the bloody railways and organised all sorts of handouts etc etc

As a leftie I instinctively support a state implemented measure which may be impractical or costly for me personally, as long as it is designed to bring about a greater good for society as a whole.
But at the same time it is starting to look lik something close to fascism is also stirring out there. People welcoming the various written and unwritten rules as sticks to beat their fellow citizens with. Plenty of angry rants and power trips all over the social meejias these days.
