Couple that central planning impulse with the draconian and deadly crackdown on political dissent and freedom of assembly by federal agents recruited with ultranationalist propaganda, along with messaging that demonstrates a penchant for villainizing the opposition party toward all-out exclusion.

I would argue that Trump administration’s government ownership of industries, Venezuela Oil, tariffs and now dictating credit card interest rates are all expressions of a communistic impulse to centrally plan the economy rather than the traditionally capitalist laissez-faire free market approach.

Centrally planned economy; limited free enterprise; limited free expression; single party system. Not to be confused with Northern European Democratic Socialism which provides a robust welfare state in the context of free enterprise, free expression, parliamentary representation, and high taxation.
