And having been in that mindset and then gotten out, I can just say the parallels that I see.

One is this idea of the intelligent bureaucrat knowing more than the average person and that the average person is somehow stupid.

They're ignorant.

So like we, the central planners, can plan this better.

And then also taking away people's property rights in the name of a greater cause.

So socialism, we all know,

is to get to equality and climate change is to save the planet, but they end up being acted out in very similar ways.

You need more bloated bureaucratic government.

You're always going to prevent some, or you're always trying to reach a utopia, right?

It's like, in 10 years, it'll be a green utopia.

Just, we're gonna tax you a little more.

You're gonna give up some of your freedoms, but in 10 years, it's gonna be utopia.

So there's a lot of ideological overlap.

And I think, again,

You can't be understated how un-inoculated the West is from this.

Young people were not educated properly on communism, socialism in America at all.

We're taught a lot about World War II and Hitler and stuff like that, but I never even learned about the destructiveness of communism and socialism when I was in school and only have had to educate myself later.

And so I think I do see the climate movement as sort of the next...

iteration of that same ideology.

It's about control, but in the name of greater good.
