Which part are you having trouble with?

Power corrupts.

A meaningless platitude; as baseless as saying that lightning never strikes the same place twice. Liberals just think it's true because they've created a system where people who were already corrupt gain power.

Presumably they would look not-authoritarian

And what does that even look like? Something like Allende, I'm guessing.

The liberal Zionist western propaganda outlet?
