“We are talking about two ideologies, and in this respect they are structurally very similar:

they are against individual freedom, they are in favor of central(ized) masterminding of our fates, they are both very similar in telling us what to do, how to live, how to behaveve, what to eat, how to travel, what we can do and what we cannot do and so on. There is a huge similarity in this respect.”
