Who decides. That is the fundamental principle behind every social order. In a capitalist democracy, YOU decide - who makes decisions on your behalf as well as what your needs are and what your contribution will be. In all other variations, someone ELSE decides, and you forfeit the right to choose who decides, not just for yourself, but for everybody, and for your children and grandchildren, forever. And this doesn't even address the TYPE of person drawn to being the decider of everything for everybody. Why this would be appealing to anybody is beyond understanding.
I think that what we see are people who want others to decide for them... and for everyone else. They want the control over others, but they don't want to exercise it themselves.
